A three-point memo regarding Hasidic Yeshiva education and the changes to education regulations adopted by the New York State Department of Education.
Curriculum: Hasidic boys are in school more hours per day and more days per year than public school students. Yeshiva detractors use the terms "religious studies" and "Judaic studies" to suggest that the curriculum is only stories and prayers when said studies include history, geography, geometric concepts, legal theory, and business ethics presented in a way that sharpens critical thinking. The standard Yeshiva also provides English instruction and other “secular” subjects. True, "religious" and "Judaic" studies are structured differently than public school studies, but the law requires substantial equivalency, not substantial sameness. Taken together, Yeshiva students receive more than a sound, basic education.
Legal: According to a New York law from the 1800s, private school students must receive an education that is at least "substantially equivalent" to those at public schools This is an abstract term with limited meaning, yet opponents of Yeshivas claim that Yeshivas are non-compliant. When asked for specifics, opponents pushed for new regulations that would render many Yeshivas afoul of the old law. This is akin to saying, "Vehicles doing 50 MPH violate existing law," but when asked which law, the answer is, "the new speed limit of 30 MPH that is being implemented now." This is an absurd development of events. Besides, failures in NY public schools such as high absenteeism and 55% of all students including 90% of English Language Learners failing standardized tests have led to a lowering of standards by regulators, not a tightening of rules as done against Yeshivas.
Paid for by OJPAC. The mission of the Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council (OJPAC) is to counter the defamation of the Orthodox Jewish Community and to champion civil rights and civil liberties. OJPAC is a not for profit organization recognized as tax exempt under IRS Code section 501(c)(3).
Outcomes: Hasidic populated neighborhoods shine with peace and tranquility, strong family and communal foundations, charitable institutions, volunteerism to help Jews and non Jews, civic engagement, low crime rates, and almost no homelessness or youth criminality. 99% of the population lives in married-couple households, and 97% of Hasidic households have at least one breadwinner. The employment level among Hasidic men is similar to the rest of society. However, because Hasidim tend to marry as young adults and build families, it impacts income and poverty levels in two ways: A) People in their 20s earn only half of those in their mid-40s, even if both have the same education B) More children at home impacts poverty rates because the rate is calculated by measuring income relative to family size Indeed, the Poverty Rate in Hasidic populated areas for older individuals is comparable to the rest of New York because the young age impact on income and family size is gone. Hasidim have these excellent results despite receiving less than $1,400 in annual taxpayer school funds per student, while public school students receive more than $25,000. (Vouchers and lunch are not included in this number.)
EDITOR’S NOTE
Here’s my humble suggestion: Why not designate specific subway cars for people who want and need to wear masks? It’s not a new idea. Amtrak has quiet cars, and in many places including Mexico, Japan, India, Egypt and Germany, there are train cars designated for women in an effort to combat sexual assault. Am I naive to hope that clear signs, mutual respect and sideways glances would be motivation enough to make sure everyone has a way to ride the train and feel comfortable? Columbia University epidemiologist Dr. Wafaa El-Sadr thinks so. Asked about the idea, she told our Annie McDonough: “It’s going to be very hard, when you consider the number of subway cars. … If you can’t enforce it, it just makes it very frustrating for everybody involved.” But assistant professor of popu lation health at New York University Anna Bershteyn was more optimistic: “You’d have to be careful, of course, because sometimes on the subway you’re just packed like sardines, and you get in where you can get in. But it’s a really appealing concept. … For people to have that little bit of safety when they need it, and a choice when they don’t need it, that’s a really appealing idea.”

GOV. KATHY HOCHUL prompted a mixed response when she announced the end of the public transit mask mandate earlier this month. The decision was backed by the state’s health commissioner, Dr. Mary Bassett, and many subway and bus riders in New York City had already stopped wearing masks anyway. But for people who are still being extra cautious about COVID-19, including those with compromised immune systems, the announcement was understandably unwelcome. (WNYC had a great story on this last week.) Mask use is most effective when everyone is buying in, and this is a city where public transit is often the only option for getting around.

– New York City Mayor Eric Adams, in response to hearing that being mayor is the second-hardest job in the U.S. at the National Press Club
The most talked about story in New York last week didn’t leave some of the state’s top elected officials with much to say. A bombshell New York Times’ story garnered outrage from critics and defenders of the quality of secular education in yeshivas, but New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul had hands-off responses. Der Blatt, a Yiddish newspaper published by the Satmar Hasidim, noted Hochul’s relative silence on the issue with its loud headline “WAR!”

New York City’s home less shelter system once again failed to fulfill its legal obligation to provide a bed to every person who requests one when at least 60 men –many of whom were migrant asylum-seek ers – were left unhoused on the night of Monday, Sept. 12. The next day, the news swiftly sparked both outrage and alarm. This was only the latest incident in which the strained system has buckled due to the influx of thousands of migrants entering the city – many of whom were bussed in by the Texas governor. And for months, the city Department of Homeless Services has struggled to fulfill the right to shelter law. While The Legal Aid Society threatened to sue if the city is unable to resolve the issue soon, this was only one aspect of the backlash. New York City Mayor Eric Ad ams issued a statement on Sept. 14, saying the city’s system is “nearing its breaking point” so prior practices “must be reassessed.” Condemna tion was swift, with many interpreting the words to reference the right to

FORMER CUOMO AIDE SUES OVER ALLEGED HARASSMENTSEXUAL
FRIDAY 9/23
Charlotte Bennett, a onetime aide to Andrew Cuomo, sued the former governor on Wednesday –about a year and a half after she first publicly spoke about the unwanted advances he’d allegedly made on her, including asking if she’d be open to having sex with an older man.

and gender discrimination. The lawsuit is at least the second to have been filed by the many women who accused the former governor of sexual harassment, which eventually led to his resignation last summer. In the months since, Cuomo’s team has attemptedrepeatedlytoquestion the credibility of the women as well as the accuracy of the lengthy investigative report conducted by the state attorney general’s office. A mere day before Bennett filed her lawsuit, the former governor filed a state ethics complaint against state Attorney General Letitia James, accusing her of intentionally mishandling the investigation. This is only the latest attempt Cuomo has taken to rehabilitate his image and is unlikely to be the last.

It’s not just celebrities, either. More than 1.6 billion residents of Florida were born in New York, according to 2020 census data, and these transplants now make up nearly 8% of the state’s population. The corona virus pandemic saw even more New Yorkers fleeing there. Here’s a rundown of New Yorkers now spending some –or all – of their time in Florida.

Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump
In 2020, investor Carl Icahn report edly moved his business from Fifth Avenue to Florida, leasing an office in Sunny Isles Beach. The billionaire, who founded Icahn Capital Management, already owned a home in Miami’s Indian Creek.
Any number of Florida politicians were born or raised in New York. Among the most prominent is Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was born in Forest Hills, Queens, and raised on Long Island. She has served in Congress since 2005 and represents portions of Broward and Miami-Dade counties.

Another billionaire Wall Street titan, Paul Singer, moved his hedge fund offices from midtown Manhattan to West Palm Beach in 2020. However, Singer reportedly opted to stay in the Northeast at the time and kept some Elliott Management employees in New York.
Many notable New Yorkers have moved to Florida, including hedge fund billion aires, superstar athletes and a certain former U.S. president.
Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, reportedly purchased a $24 million mansion in Surfside last year. The couple had rented a home in Washington, D.C., while serving in the Trump administration.
Derek Jeter, who grew up in New Jersey and Michigan, ended his Hall of Fame career with the Yankees in 2014. In 2017, he became a minority owner and CEO of the Miami Marlins, a position he stepped down from earlier this year.
These politicians and other leaders took their talents to the Sunshine State.

You’re at a moment where Trump and his followers have assaulted our democracy. And you saw it on Jan. 6, but as the Jan. 6 hearings played out, you saw that that wasn’t the end. That was the beginning of Trump’s efforts to overturn elections, to change election laws and to take away basic rights. And for the first time, you have a Supreme Court who, in the abortion decision, took away the basic rights of people. And so all this was flying out as the campaign was developing.
The key to a campaign is running true to who the candidate is and what he’s trying to do, and I think,
right moment for Dan Goldman?
a unionized workforce, and it does not interfere with whom employers choose to hire. It simply means workers can unionize if they want to, and union campaigns can proceed without unfair interference from employers. Cannabis companies will not have to negotiate union contracts unless their workers choose to organize. LPAs level the playing field and ensure fairness when it comes to workers and unions.
f you want to take part in the new adult use cannabis industry in New York, you will need a labor peace agreement (LPA), and you need to start getting your LPA in order today. If you don’t take care of this now, you’ll regret it; prospective operators who fail to have their paperwork in order will miss out on the first set of licenses.

What was your strategy for Dan campaign?Goldman’s
The RWDSU has been a key stakeholder in helping shape New York’s cannabis industry — beginning prior to the passage of Compassionate Care Act which brought medical cannabis to the state — into a responsible industry that creates good jobs and stronger communities. Part of this effort was to make it necessary for any company entering the industry to obtain an LPA. With the passage last year of the MRTA (Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act) which created the adult-use industry in New York, an LPA is again legally required for anybody seeking to enter the business. It’s part of what made MRTA a responsible piece of legislation centered around
winning the campaign. The second thing was to make sure we ran it true to who he is, and as someone who has experienced the criminal justice system from many different sides – someone who grew up in Harlem, has lived his whole life in Harlem and understood how the criminal justice system affects impacted communities, but also someone who also has been involved with the system as a federal prosecutor, working in the attorney general’s office. And so while the race kind of panned out with candidates – some who came at it from a public defender, activist point
Tell me about your strategy for Alvin Bragg’s campaign. The first strategic decision we made was to announce early. He was the first candidate to announce at a time when (then-Manhattan District Attorney) Cy Vance still hadn’t made his decision. We did that for a number of reasons. One was that he started with no fundraising list, no social media accounts and none of the things that other people who’ve been in the political process longer had, and so having that time to build up, to meet people, to raise money was was an important part I think of eventually
frankly, better than other candidates in this race, he defined that this race for him was about protecting our democracy, protecting our rights and protecting our planet itself. And I think he’s someone who came to this race uniquely qualified for the moment we’re in. At a different time, with different events happening, he may not have won, but he’s someone whose skills met the moment, and I think our job in a very short campaign, it was only a 10-week campaign from beginning to end, was to build up the apparatus to let people know who Dan is and what he wants to do.

Together, New York’s cannabis industry and New York’s unions are building a sustainable new industry that helps build our communities. The RWDSU is making it easy; visit cannabislpa.com for more information on LPAs and to start the process of securing one. It’s quick, it’s easy, and will help you meet one of the requirements to enter New York’s emerging cannabis industry. And if you take care of the paperwork now, you won’t be left behind as this new industry takes off in the Empire State.
of view and some who have been prosecutors, Alvin really kind of straddled that line, and we kind of embraced that positioning. So we ran on that and we built on his base uptown, but it was a campaign that really looked to and worked to attract support around the borough. We won more of the Democratic clubs’ support than anybody. We had more petition signatures than anyone.
And that’s good news for both workers and their employers in any industry; union workforces have lower turnover, better pay and benefits, better relationships with their employers, and workers who see their jobs as a career. They are more invested in both their employer’s success, as well as that of that of the full industry.
An LPA is a written and mutually agreed-upon document between a bona fide, established labor union, and an employer — in this case one that is licensed to operate in the cannabis industry. A cannabis employer agrees to never interfere with a union organizing campaign or to intimidate or threaten workers who are trying to unionize. In return, the union agrees that it will not picket, strike, boycott, or otherwise interfere with a cannabis employer’s business. Essentially, LPAs create a neutral environment that prevents the conditions where workers may feel their only recourse for gaining a voice on the job is through a workplace action. Instead, workers’ rights are respected, and workers are entirely free to determine for themselves whether joining a union is the best path for them.
An LPA does not require employers to have

The move was a demonstration of how the city will handle desert ed structures as well as an oppor tunity to announce in no uncertain terms that the administration was fully behind making the Open Restaurants program permanent.Inorderto make that happen, however, Adams and the New York City Council will have to use much finer instruments.

The New York City Council and the mayor are working on a deal to make outdoor dining permanent.
L
New York City’s Open Restaurants pro gram has operated on a temporary basis since 2020, under an continually renewed emergency executive order citing the need to keep restaurants and bars operat ing while allowing safe social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. While Gov. Kathy Hochul is letting the statewide COVID-19 state of emergency expire, the Adams administration said its temporary program will keep running until a perma nent program is in place. “The expiration of the Governor’s emergency order will not affect the Open Restaurants program or any other emergency executive order is sued by the city,” a City Hall spokesperson wrote in an email.
THE
The New York City Department of Transportation – which the Adams ad ministration would like to see put in charge of the permanent Open Restaurants pro gram – has outlined a target date of 2023 for implementing the program, including an application period beginning later this year. But with less than four months left in the year, the process of determining what that permanent program will look like is still ongoing. And while the City Council
The City Council took a first step to making citywide outdoor dining perma nent earlier this year by approving a zoning amendment that expanded where sidewalk cafés were allowed. (Prior to the pandem ic, restaurants in the outer boroughs had largely been excluded from being able to operate sidewalk cafés.) Assuming that the council passes legislation creating a framework for a permanent outdoor din ing program – and the mayor signs it – the city agency tasked with running the pro gram would then be expected to determine some of its finer details – like the specif ics of how applications will work or the specific designs of sidewalk cafés – in the rule-making process. It’s also possible, however, that the council legislation will outline some of these questions, leaving less for the agency to determine.
In March, a state Supreme Court judge ruled against the city in that suit, finding that a more extensive environmental study was necessary. The city is in the process of appealing that decision.

But at an August press conference on outdoor dining sheds, Adams and his dep uty mayor for operations, Meera Joshi, pointed to litigation against the city over outdoor dining as the main roadblock for making progress on that permanent pro gram. “There is a small minority that has filed litigation trying to stall that pro gram,” Joshi said. “Unfortunately, that has put a paralysis on our plans to create a per manentThereprogram.”havebeen several lawsuits over outdoor dining since the program got up and running, many of them cited com plaints about excessive noise, trash and rodents that opponents said have been ex acerbated by the program, and outdoor dining sheds in particular. One recent suit argued that the city shouldn’t be able to renew the temporary program on the basis of a public health emergency considering it has done away with many other pandem ic-era initiatives like mask mandates and vaccine requirements.
is working on updating a bill that would create a permanent program, the Adams administration contended that ongoing lit igation against the city over outdoor dining was standing in the way.
But despite the legal challenges, the City Council is working on updating a bill in troduced by Council Member Marjorie Velázquez in February that would make the Open Restaurants program permanent. Council leaders were not concerned that the ongoing litigation would pose an impedi ment to passing the legislation, but neither the council speaker’s office nor City Hall provided an explanation on the difference in opinion between the mayor and council.
the program wouldn’t have a significant enough environmental impact to warrant an extensive environmental review. That kind of review, known as an Environmen tal Impact Statement, could take months.
Asked about the ongoing litigation, Velázquez said it doesn’t stop the council
But the lawsuit that the Adams adminis tration said was actually impeding progress on making open restaurants permanent argued that the city erred in finding that

rants would pay $1,050 for a license to operate a sidewalk or roadway café, and a $525 renewal fee.
Velázquez said she wants to explore ways to make outdoor dining as stream lined and affordable as possible, includ ing considering a variable fee structure in which restaurants in more dense areas face a slightly higher fee. Creating an ac cessible application process is a priority for not just Velázquez but the restaurant industry too. “We want to cut the bu reaucracy, cut the red tape and cut the costs. So it’s not cost prohibitive and geographically restrictive, like it was pre-pandemic,” said Andrew Rigie, ex ecutive director of the New York City Hospitality Alliance.
Rigie stressed the importance of moving this program forward regardless, noting that restaurants need clarity on what kinds of outdoor dining structures and materials will be permitted in the permanent pro gram – and therefore, which to continue investing in.

As for the outdoor dining sheds that have garnered some fierce opposition, Velázquez said the council was trying to figure out how to phase those out in the permanent program. “I think the biggest concern for a lot of folks has been what we call those sheds,” she said, when asked what kind of feedback she’s getting from other council members. “We’re talking about standard ization more so of chairs and tables, and traffic-blocking (items) like planters,” she added, describing what might replace the sheds.Although both the council and the Adams administration support the concept of permanent Open Restaurants, there’s some disagreement about how it should work. One issue is determining which agency should be tasked with implement ing and running the permanent program. While the Adams administration wants the Department of Transportation to run the program, the council is looking to cede that authority to the Department of Con sumer and Worker Protection.

In response, the government didn’t ex actly cancel rent but it did a lot to take the heat off cash-strapped tenants. The state passed an emergency law that declared any tenant who filed a hardship claim was shielded against eviction. The federal gov ernment poured billions into an Emergen cy Rental Assistance Program that flowed down to states, and then to landlords, so that back rent could get paid, with about $2.4 billion being paid out in New York state so far. And notably, filing a request with the state under this program also protected a tenant against eviction. And already available in New York City were one-time payments from the city Human Resources Administration, which provid ed some tenants with relief.

Another problem, according to advo cates, was that although state law mandated that an eviction case would be paused until a tenant’s rental assistance determination goes through, some landlord lawyers are pressuring judges not to do that, especially in backlog cases, and some judges are mov ing cases forward – often in disputes other than nonpayment, such as nuisance or re pair claims, where the landlord wants the tenant out of the unit more than they want the back rent.
And yet another problem with the rental assistance, which covered up to one year of back rent and three months going forward for tenants who couldn’t make rent begin ning in March 2020, is that it often doesn’t award the entirety of a tenant’s unpaid rent. The program may, for example, cover only the amount of unpaid rent stated on a tenant’s initial application and not further unpaid rent that accumulated while the person’s application was pending.

But after the eviction moratorium end ed on Jan. 15, evictions, although still very low, have crept up since then, from three in March-June 2020 and 10 in January-June 2021 to 718 in the first six months of this year, according to data from the NYU Furman Center. Pre-pandemic, the rates were more than 8,000 evictions from Jan uary-June 2018 and more than 5,000 in the first half of 2019.
“It’s because we can’t show them a light at the end of the tunnel,” Rasmussen said. “Even if they slowed cases until January, it’s still not enough time for us because we need more funds from the city and then we need to find, hire and train the lawyers.”

“ERAP has to be fully funded,” Tyrrell said, so it can pay out the full amount of unpaid rent rather than just up to a certain cap. “If Democrats can keep both sides of Congress in November, it’s more likely that will happen. But right now, the politi cal will in D.C. to give what states are ask ing for for their ERAP programs is low.”

Also, Brenner and other tenant advocates said those numbers never fully capture the number of people forced out of their apartments because they exclude squeezeouts that happened outside of a court case.

These moves, along with a 2017 New York City law saying that any tenant in an eviction proceeding has a right to a lawyer regardless of their ability to pay, caused a dramatic change in not just actual evictions but new eviction cases, which many land lords, given all the new tenant protections amid the pandemic, declined to even file.
ANCEL THE RENT!” So said the graffiti and bed sheet signs hung all over New York City and state during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people who were al ready struggling to make ends meet suddenly found themselves out of work and unable to pay their rent.
Based on data from the New York City Department of Investigation, the rate of evictions that were being carried out, which has always been low compared to the total number of eviction cases filed, plunged to basically zero in 2020.
Based on the same data, eviction filings, once over 112,000 in the first half of 2018 and as low as about 3,500 in the spring of 2020, have shot up again to nearly 50,000 the first six months of this year.
One problem is that, despite the law say ing that every income-eligible tenant must have free counsel, there is a shortage of lawyers. According to Raun Rasmussen, executive director of Legal Services NYC, one of the largest providers of tenant law yers contracting with the city, Housing Court is on track to have 92,000 cases filed this year, with a total of about 500 attor neys currently available – but there’s a need for several hundred more lawyers just

“Eighty percent of our members are small property owners, sole proprietors who weren’t able to receive (Paycheck Pro tection Program) business-owner assis tance during COVID,” said Olga Someras, general counsel for the Rent Stabilization Association, which represents landlords of rent-stabilized buildings. She said a land
lord of a six-family home with a tenant who had not paid rent the past two years be cause of financial hardship had only been getting about $100 per month from the tenant’s Section 8 housing benefit out of a $1,500 monthly rent.
“So he’s lost about $1,400 times 24 months, which is not a small amount,” she said. “And his case keeps dropping to the bottom of the list because ERAP doesn’t prioritize cases with Section 8 assistance in play. He’ll probably never get his rent back.”She was echoed by Jay Martin, who is the executive director of the Community Housing Improvement Program, which represents property owners – 90% of them with rent-stabilized units.

“You can’t stall Housing Court com pletely and leave a landlord hanging,” Someras said. Martin added: “Due process for landlords has been suspended. And (tenant advocates are saying) it should stay that way just because there aren’t enough attorneys?”
“This might sound like a long shot, but in the long term, we have to decommod ify more housing,” Tyrrell said. “As long as every housing unit is seen as a market asset, people will always be pushed out to be replaced by higher-performing tenants, or whatever the euphemism is.”
In the meantime, Tyrrell said, “I don’t want to sound grim but I think the flood gates (on eviction cases) are now open. If we keep on this track, with no changes in court process or legislative fixes, evictions are going up exponentially every month. And that would be terrible on a human level, because the shelter system is not equipped for that.”
He said the city and state need to look to alternatives that are not beholden to the pri vate market, such as community land trusts and a return to having the federal govern ment pay for public housing, even though he acknowledged that those were “not snapyour-fingers overnight solutions.”
In addition to fully funding rental as sistance, tenant advocates want Albany to pass “good cause” eviction, which died in the state Legislature in the previous legis lative session. It would set caps, based on inflation, on how much market-rate land lords could raise rents.
The bill would also make market-rate landlords go to court justifying their rea son before evicting tenants rather than merely telling them to get out at the end of a lease term, as they are allowed to do now.
Landlord advocates, not surprisingly, opposed the legislation, saying that the current law spares landlords the time and money of going to court in the case of a nuisance tenant – which, these advocates claimed, were the main reason, along with rent nonpayment that landlords want to evict

Since then, shoot ings have decreased dramatical ly, dropping more than 30% in August compared to the same month last year, something the Adams administration has at tributed to an increase in gun arrests. “The NYPD’s array of strategies to remove ille gal firearms from the streets is gaining traction as reflected in the department’s seizing more than 4,880 guns year-to-date in 2022,” the NYPD said in a press release last week, while announcing 3,170 gun arrests through August, a 27-year high.

A new book explores remarkableformerhappenedwhattoNewYorkCityMayorRudyGiuliani’sonce-placeinhistory. MAYORTHEANDAMERICA’SFALLOFRISE
N THIS NEW BOOK by Andrew Kirtz man titled, “Giuliani: The Rise and Trag ic Fall of America’s Mayor,” he explores the great heights and depths of the former New York City mayor’s career. Released on Sept. 13 from Simon & Schuster, Kirtzman, a member of City & State’s advisory board, chronicles Rudy Giuliani’s strongarm tactics in the early days of being mayor, his marriages, his embrace of right-wing politics – and Don ald Trump – plus how he rallied the country after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. His fall from respectability in recent years has largely been tied to his connection to Trump, which is the subject of this excerpt from Kirtzman’s book. Naturally, it centers on a key real estate deal and a budding mutually beneficial relationship.

It was in his interest to cultivate the mayor and his aides. Giuliani, for his part, gained from his campaign contributions, advocacy, and assorted benefits of being on Donald Trump’s good side, including sky-high praise on national prime-time television interviews.Butthe relationship wasn’t purely transactional; each saw much to admire in the other. They were old-school, out er-borough brawlers who took pleasure in bludgeoning their opponents. Both valued loyalty above competence, with the sky the limit for those who passed the test. They were forever striving to prove their loyalty to each other.

It was three hundred feet higher than the U.N. building, then the tallest building in the area.
Giuliani ignored the objections. Cor nered at an event by a community leader, he demurred, calling the matter “a very complicated legal question.”

The bond was on display in Octo ber 1998, when Trump broke ground on Trump World Tower, a development slat ed to rise across from the United Nations building on Manhattan’s East Side – “the tallest and most luxurious residential tower in the world,” he boasted.

It wasn’t just irate neighbors who were disturbed by the city’s green light. The chairman of the City Planning Commis sion, Joe Rose, sent an internal memo to Deputy Mayor Randy Levine stating that he was “not comfortable” with some of the Building Department’s conclusions that led to the approval. Lacking the power to cancel the permit, Rose moved to overhaul the zoning code’s height regu lations so that no one could pull a Trumpstyle maneuver again.
Many of the project’s opponents were more respected, accomplished, and pow erful than Donald Trump, giants of New York who weren’t accustomed to the kind of shoddy treatment they were receiving from the mayor. But he seemed happy to treat them with disrespect. His treatment of Trump was another story.
Eight days after Cronkite sent his irate second letter, the mayor walked through the grand, solid-bronze doors of the ven erable Marble Collegiate Church on Fifth Avenue for the funeral of Fred Trump, Trump World Tower, across the street from the U.N. complex, was allowed to be built in large part because of Trump and alliance.Giuliani’s

Most were intimate af fairs charging invitees as much as $25,000 a pop, such as developer Larry Silver stein’s fundraising dinner aboard his yacht (“Rubber soled shoes please”). Trump typ ically scrawled a note on the invitations, and directed them to “Randy L.”
He also kept an eye on Giuliani’s ad versaries. When Ed Koch held a party for his book attacking the mayor, Giuliani: Nasty Man, Trump forwarded the invite to Levine, with a note reading “Randy L Not nice!” The information was of minor value, but it was Trump’s signal of fidelity to the mayor.Interspersed with the gestures of his support were notes about the U.N. project. When an executive at Rose Associates, a real estate conglomerate, wrote a letter to shareholders of a nearby building urging them to oppose the tower, Trump forward ed it to Levine, questioning Joe Rose’s im partiality as city planning commissioner. “Randy – this is Joe Rose’s family compa ny – what do you think – ?”
His correspondences – half intended to help Giuliani, half intended to help him self – continued unabated through the duration of the fight over the tower.

“I’ve joked with people, ‘Don’t read the book. I was clear ly wrong in everything I said because it predated Trump,’” Schlossberg told City & State with a chuckle, noting that the playbook for how to use social media as a political can didate has been entirely rewritten.
Gone are the days of reserving attacks for TV ads and de bate appearances. Candidates are now waging war on a new battlefield – one fought within the confines of social media algorithms using memes, trolling and other unorthodox tac tics as ammunition. How politicians use social media has evolved, Schlossberg said, with attacks becoming much sharper on Facebook, Twitter and other platforms.

Mike Schlossberg published the book, “Tweets and Consequences,” which examines dozens of social media “disasters” in politics and provides a guide for how politicians should avoid them. Today, Schlossberg likes to joke that the book has since be come obsolete – as it was written be fore the tweet-fueled political rise of former President Donald Trump.

OUT FROM UNDER THE BRIDGE –TROLLING IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS
How usepoliticosPennsylvaniaaremakingofsocialmediatoboosttheirbrands.
The evolution of how candidates use social media platforms is on full display in Pennsylvania’s midterm election cycle –and it stretches far beyond attacks directed at opponents.
THEIR W@Y
Sidelined by a stroke, Fetterman spent most of the sum mer away from the campaign trail. But that didn’t stop him
Platforms like Facebook and Google allow political campaigns to publish target ed ads and posts that are directed to spe cific audiences, which can be refined by a variety of factors – like a person’s interests, occupation, location or age.
Sam Chen, a local Republican political strategist and founder and principal at The Liddell Group, cautioned against using so cial media so flippantly in political cam paigns. He told City & State that he would advise his clients against using the person al, and – at times – petty, approach to so cial media, calling it “dangerous” to both campaigning and governing.
Andrew Arenge, the director of oper ations for the Penn Program on Opinion Research and Election Studies, started tracking and downloading political adver tising data sets beginning in 2019 in order
PAY TO PLAY – THE BENEFITS OF PAID DIGITAL MEDIA
That’s not to say Fetterman and Oz ha ven’t found success with their respective
from needling Oz, resulting in a back-andforth of blows on social media. Fetterman has developed a reputation for expert ly trolling Oz over his past residency in New Jersey – and his wealth – prompting thought pieces from national news outlets about whether Fetterman is on track to “shitpost” his way to the U.S. Senate.
Viral fame and free headlines aren’t the only ways candidates leverage social media – they can also simply pay for the at tention they’re seeking. And they often do.
Oz has also made headlines for his use of social media in his attempts to goad Fetter man into a debate while simultaneously rais ing questions about the status of his health. The tactics have resulted in even more atten tion placed on what was already one of the most-watched Senate races in the country.

“From a governing perspective, it’s very dangerous. From a campaign perspective, it’s dangerous because social media isn’t real life,” he said.
Paid digital and social media ads can be used for a range of purposes, including to encourage social media users to contrib ute to campaigns and to educate voters on a candidate’s stance on a particular issue.
Chen said the attention paid to the social media wars between Oz and Fetterman is “accentuated by the fact that we have un orthodox candidates.” And while Chen doesn’t endorse the social media strategies employed by both candidates, he said the strategies are likely to be replicated regard less of who “Someone’swins.going to win this race,” he said. “That side is going to attribute much of their victory to this kind of tactic, and they’re going to say, ‘We won, so let’s con tinue the formula.’”
Pinar Yildirim, a marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School who studies media, technology and information economics, said that elections are typically won thanks to “three M’s”: money, media and missionary, the latter of which describes a candidate’s ability to mobilize volunteers. Yildirim said that an effective digital media strategy, which in cludes paid media, is key to succeeding in all three of those areas.
“At the end of the day, policy pieces can’t be broken down into 280 characters. They can’t be broken down into 10- to 15-second snaps or Instagram stories,” Chen said, add ing that social media does not allow candi dates to communicate whether or not they have “a firm grasp on any of the nuance that is required in governing and public policy.”

Fetterman’s extended absence from the campaign trail (he resumed campaigning in mid-August) was likely a contributor to his campaign’s increased activity on Twit ter and other platforms. And both Chen and Schlossberg agreed that the attention generated over the social media battles be tween Oz and Fetterman are also likely due to the larger-than-life personalities of both candidates.Oz,acardiothoracic surgeon, rose to fame making guest appearances on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and later as host of “The Dr. Oz Show.” Fetterman, mean while, has developed as much of a rep utation for his tall frame and his love of hoodies and gym shorts as he has for his progressive brand of politics.
Fetterman has made viral moments out of efforts to enshrine Oz in the New Jer sey Hall of Fame and raised more than $500,000 off a video he recirculated of Oz shopping for ingredients for a vegetable tray, (or as Oz put it, “crudités”) and mis pronouncing the name of the Pennsylvania grocery store where he was shopping.
“In all of these things, media ends up being a very core component. You want to be able to reach out to individuals to in form them that you exist as a candidate and that’s typically not so easy for politi cal newcomers or small town local politi cians,” Yildirim said.
Oz later said he was “exhuasted” when he made the infamous “crudité” video and mispronounced the name of the Pennsylvania grocery store he was in.
approaches. Schlossberg referred to Fetter man as “one of the best in the country” in terms of using social media to promote his political“Fettermanbrand.has thrown some of the most devastating insults I’ve ever seen on social media, but they’ve been poking at a guy like Oz, who is almost a caricature for a lack of genuineness,” Schlossberg said.
In the governor’s race, Arenge said, state Attorney General Josh Shapiro, the Demo cratic gubernatorial nominee, is spending less than $1,000 a day on Facebook ads –not much by comparison – but he’s spend ing “a ton” on Google.
to better understand the ways politicians are using digital media.
Arenge has been monitoring Pennsyl vania’s statewide midterm races and said there are vast spending gaps between the major candidates for governor and U.S. Senate. Fetterman, for example, spent be tween $10,000 and $30,000 a day on Face book ads and posts in August, according to Arenge’s analysis, while Oz stopped adver tising on Facebook entirely from the end of April through mid-August. “At this point, Oz is literally spending no more than $250 a day and they’re all focused on fundraising ads,” Arenge said.
WHY FACEBOOK STILL REIGNS SUPREME
For researchers and those interested in political spending, it’s easier to track whether online ads translate to donations. “It’s potentially easier to draw the correla tion with fundraising because the action that you are asking folks to change is liter ally a click away,” Arenge said.
“The largest demographic of votes, which is the elderly, are on Facebook,” he said. “The candidate who ignores Facebook ignores it at their own peril, because the largest voting base that they can reach –with targeted reach – is on Facebook.”
– Sam Chen, a local Republican political strategist and founder of The Liddell Group
Despite how active the political world is on Twitter, strategists and candidates alike view Facebook as the gold standard when it comes to social media platforms.
Yildirim was one of three authors of a 2020 study that found that the simple act of creating a Twitter account can result in increased campaign contributions for politicians, with new political candidates benefiting the most. The analysis also con cluded that “social media can intensify electoral competition by reducing the bar riers for entrants to raise money.”
■
Arenge said Mastriano doesn’t seem to be doing any advertising on Facebook, and that his campaign didn’t spend any money on Google advertising until August. Arenge said Mastriano’s campaign did purchase around $5,000 in Google banner ads.
Mastriano’s live streams frequently pull in tens of thousands of views, and his campaign page boasts more than 115,000
followers. And there are multiple Facebook groups dedicated to supporting him.
From a strategy perspective, Chen said Facebook offers the largest voting base of any social media platform and has more ac tive voters as users.
“The newer politicians, they are the ones to see a real increase in the donations that they receive,” Yildirim said, citing the results of the analysis. “It’s because these candidates do not have a readily available channel to make their voices known. They are the ones who need to be able to commu nicate through social media and ‘likes’ to be able to get their message out.”
Arenge added that it’s hard to draw a direct line between how much a candidate spends on digital media and their electoral success, meaning that the discrepancies in Pennsyl vania’s races for governor and Senate don’t necessarily spell doom for the Republicans.
Mastriano is one Pennsylvania politi cian who has used Facebook effectively to build his political profile. During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mastriano used Facebook to host “fireside chats” – live streams where he often spoke out against the state’s COVID-19 restric tions and interacted with viewers.
“It gives your supporters that feeling that they’re a part of this team, and it gives those on the fence the idea that you have nothing to hide,” Chen said of using Face book Live to connect with political sup porters. “If you’re not willing to talk to the press, you’re at least willing to hold kind of a town hall, and you’re willing to hear from people directly, or you’re willing to share with people directly – it at least gives the image of Yildirimtransparency.”saidthatthe two-way nature of social media can not only help create a bond between the content creator and the viewer, but also provide candidates with information about their constituents.
With the filter removed, Schlossberg cautioned that candidates should stay gen uine on social media, or at the very least, stay genuine to the brand they have creat ed for themselves. He said: “People have an eye for bullshit, and they can detect it.”

“From realmediabecauseit’sperspective,adangerous.it’sperspective,governingaveryFromcampaigndangeroussocialisn’tlife.”
“(It’s) unlike TV and other channels. So, being on social media receiving the infor mation, or the complaints, or what your constituency is responding to is also very useful information when you’re running campaigns or when you’re in the office,” sheSchlossbergsaid. said that Mastriano has lev eraged Facebook in an effective manner, and added that he also has found Facebook to be the platform most useful for connect ing with constituents. Facebook Live pro vides people with an unfiltered and more genuine view of politicians, which can help build trust with voters.
“What people want out of a politician on social media more than anything else is to see the true self,” he said. “When you’re on Facebook Live, there are no filters and there is no editing. People get to see exact ly who you are with no intermediary, and that’s really appealing for folks.”

THE REST OF THE WORST ANTHONY ANNUCCI
Columbia is now worse than Cornell??? Yes, the upstate party Ivy overtook Columbia in this year’s U.S. News & World Report rankings, after the leadership in Morningside Heights got called out for cooking the books. Columbia (No. 18) still tops its uptown neighbors at Yeshiva University (No. 67), but the Orthodox Jewish school has bigger things to worry about than nearly meaningless rankings – the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it has to legally recognize an LGBTQ student club.
Since the city is required to provide shelter to anyone who needs it, Jen kins is tasked with making sure the city meets the mandate, no matter the constraints.

At 24 years old, Chi Ossé became the youngest lead sponsor to pass a New York City Council bill. We’re pretty sure. His bill will make naloxone, commercially marketed as Narcan, available to nightlife establishments to use in opioid overdose emergencies. The health department will also provide training to bar and club managers to help ensure young people are partying safely.
It’s been a decade since yeshiva graduate Naftuli Moster formed Young Advocates for Fair Education to fight for a greater level of secular education in Hasidic Jewish edu cation. In what is seen as the most significant increase of government oversight on yeshivas in modern history, the state Board of Regents’ decision to hold private schools to minimum academic standards hit the state like a storm last week.

Employment levels for men in Hasidic-populated Kiryas Joel is similar to the rest of NY, and income holds its own despite Hasidic employees being on average much younger than elsewhere. Younger people earn much less than those with 20 years more work experience even if both have the same educational attainment. Forcing curriculum change onto Hasidic Yeshivas will not change the young-age factor impacting income and poverty rates.
