"Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the prediction market company Kalshi on Friday, claiming the prediction market platform does not abide by ‌state laws on illegal gambling.The lawsuit claims Kalshi allows users to wager money on the outcomes of events including sports, elections and cultural events without obtaining approval from the New York State Gaming Commission."

"Earlier this week, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that his plan for city-run grocery stores includes a 30% discount on common items including meat, produce and dairy.Those discounts will be subsidized by the city."

"The city rolled out its luxury second home tax this week, and some longtime residents are calling the process "sloppy" after receiving a letter in the mail asking them to either prove that the property is their primary residence or pay up.The tax is only supposed to apply to those who own a second home in the city and whose primary residence is somewhere outside of the five boroughs. City Council Members Gale Brewer and David Carr's homes both appeared on the list of potential luxury second homes."

"Even though the legislative session is over and every member of the state Legislature is up for reelection in November, meaning all active bills will need to be reintroduced in January, many members of the state Senate and Assembly continue to churn out new legislation.When it comes to bills like state Sen. Pat Fahy’s Purple Alert, intended to create an Amber Alert-like response when an individual with a disability goes missing, to state Sen. James Skoufis’ TEXAS Act, which seeks to ensure New Yorkers aren’t footing life insurance costs coming from other states and was introduced in the waning days of session, the work continues."
