- Several advocacy groups and legal cannabis dispensary owners rallied at City Hall on Friday, calling on lawmakers to remedy a decision that has thrown the industry into chaos. Under state law, cannabis dispensaries cannot be located within 500 feet of a school. But last week, state regulators said a mistake had been made: they’d been measuring wrong all these years. More than 150 dispensary locations statewide were too close to schools and out of compliance with the law.

It’s only a question of when the lights get turned out.”
Sheinkopf joined Errol to unpack his stark assessment and share his deep concerns about the city’s direction. Their wide-ranging conversation covered the strategy behind Mamdani’s campaign, the influence of new voters and shifting demographics, and how national and international tensions - particularly around Israel - are reshaping local politics.

When asked where he stands on the phrase “globalize the intifada,” Mamdani said the distance between what some intend and what others hear is “a bridge that is too far,” and it is why he now discourages its use. Mamdani also discussed his recent visit to the nation’s capital and how his campaign has started a discourse on a potential strategy shift for the Democrats, saying much of it has to do with engaging young people. He also shared his stance on city-specific issues, such as mayoral control of schools and the NYPD, saying he would continue to appoint the school’s chancellor and sustain the current head count of the police department.

- Nine candidates for mayor faced off in a two-hour debate on WNBC co sponsored by Telemundo and Politco this week. The debate marked the first time Andrew Cuomo was on the stage with his fellow candidates. The mayoral frontrunner withstood the bulk of attacks from his rivals. On the heels of the debate came Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's endorsements for the mayoral race. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Ayana Harry, recap the highlights from last night’s contest
After that, the "Off Topic" team turns to another election: the governor’s race next year. Lt. Governor Antonio Delgado announced he would primary Gov. Kathy Hochul next year – a clear indication of how much their relationship has deteriorated. The team assesses how vulnerable the governor may be next year.
