Monday is Presidents’ Day Edition

We’ll take today off to honor the Presidents of the United States (and maybe even a few presidents of the United States). We’ll be back tomorrow tanned, rested and ready, but we did want to fill you in on a lot of new you might have missed over the weekend:

  • The New York Times had an interesting op-ed about how New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s free bus proposal could not only improve the lives of commuters, but also clear up court backlogs.
  • Rich people and luxury cars — a deadly combination. (NY Post)
  • Tesla’s Buffalo plant is finally employing enough people to meet state-mandated targets for its $1-a-year least. (Gothamist)
  • A hit-and-run driver injured a woman in a wheelchair in Plattsburgh. (Syracuse.com)
  • Get ready for bus service cuts in Albany. (MSN)
