Jessica Tisch, the New York City police commissioner who has overseen a drop in violent crime under outgoing Mayor Eric Adams, has agreed to remain in the post under newly elected Zohran Mamdani, who recently apologized for his past criticisms of the department.
The incoming democratic socialist mayor will retain the popular police commissioner from the Adams administration.
Jared Walczak, vice president of state projects at the non-partisan Tax Foundation, voiced opposition to Mamdani's proposed tax hike, saying the policy risks a gradual erosion in the high-earner tax base and revenue losses that would accumulate over time.

Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.
Jewish organizations expressed deep concerns after Zohran Mamdani's win regarding his Israel stance and refusal to condemn the term "globalize the intifada."
For decades, New York has catered to its financial elite, often shaping policy to retain and attract them. Mamdani's plan challenges that long-standing dynamic and asks whether a different balance is possible.
