As the June primary in the mayor's race gets closer, there was a pivotal campaign finance deadline for the candidates this week. Andrew Cuomo, not surprisingly, pulled in $1.5 million in less than two weeks. But filings showed that Mayor Eric Adams only raisied about $19,000 in the last two months.
Meanwhile, Adams is flirting with the idea of running on an independent line in the general election — perhaps a backup plan if he loses the Democratic primary. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena break down the latest in the race for mayor.
After that, a highly anticipated report on the closure of Rikers Island was released this week, aimed at charting a path to close the troubled jail complex for good. The plan to build smaller borough-based jails to replace it is far behind schedule, and much of it will be left to the next administration to tackle. The "Off Topic" team looks at the seemingly endless issue of what to do about Rikers Island.
