- Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled his first preliminary budget this week, creating some controversy as he revealed that it includes a proposal to raise property taxes on millions of city homeowners if Gov. Kathy Hochul doesn't agree to a tax hike on the rich. Was it simply a political bluff, or was the mayor serious? NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Ayana Harry and Dan Rivoli break down his plan.
Meanwhile, Mamdani took one step toward fulfilling his promise to freeze rents for stabilized tenants, while appearing to reverse course on a vow to end homeless encampment sweeps. On Wednesday, the mayor appointed six members to the nine-member Rent Guidelines Board, which is tasked with setting rents for the city's approximately 1 million stabilized units. He also said his administration would bring back encampment sweeps, under a modified policy overseen by the Department of Homeless Services rather than the NYPD.

- Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Stonewall National Monument after NYU Langone announced it would discontinue its transgender youth health program. Advocates say the decision, which the hospital attributed to a leadership change and the current regulatory environment, leaves families scrambling to find new care providers. For more than a decade, NYU Langone had been recognized as a leader in LGBTQ+ health care, making the move especially difficult for impacted families as hospitals nationwide reassess services amid shifting federal policies.

Speaking in East Harlem, Mamdani said outreach workers will engage unsheltered individuals daily during a seven-day notice period, aiming to connect them with shelter and services.

- According to the latest census figures, there are approximately 3.87 million people of Hispanic or Latino origin living in New York state.

Mamdani called the idea of raising property taxes a "last resort."
