A recent decision by the NYPD’s top administrative judge puts Commissioner Jessica Tisch in the hot seat, just as Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is seeking to retain her in the crucial role.
On July 4, 2016, an off-duty police officer named Wayne Isaacs fatally shot a man in what has been described as a road rage incident. Isaacs claimed self-defense.
After a criminal trial in which he was acquitted, the Civilian Complaint Review Board pursued disciplinary charges against him. But because Isaacs was off-duty, the NYPD’s administrative judge eventually ruled that the CCRB doesn’t have jurisdiction over the case. Tisch now decides whether the case can move forward.
Mamdani, meanwhile, has called for expanding the CCRB’s authority over disciplining officers.

Our Other Top Stories
New York City has now received over $142.4 million in funding from the state’s Environmental Bond Act — more than 13% of the $1.07 billion allocated so far. That’s a big boost from where the city stood last year, when it received just 2% of what had been deployed. Read more about why the city was getting stiffed and what’s changed.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation approved a key permit Friday for a proposed natural-gas pipeline that would span 17 miles near the Rockaways and Staten Island — and which had already been rejected three times going back to 2018. Read more here about the Trump-backed proposal.
Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik officially entered the race for governor Friday after spending months attacking the leadership of Gov. Kathy Hochul, who she labeled “the Worst Governor in America” in a social media post announcing her run. Our partners at NOTUS report on the upstate congresswoman’s campaign.
Nearly 3 million New Yorkers who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to feed themselves will have full access to the benefits through the month of November, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced late Friday.
This move followed the Trump administration asking a federal appeals court to block a judge’s order requiring the U.S. Department of Agriculture to use emergency funding for November SNAP benefits.
The benefits had lapsed at the start of the month as a result of the ongoing government shutdown.
In a statement, Hochul said President Donald Trump is “hellbent” on a “senseless” and “un-American” effort to deny the benefits.
“He’s made decision after decision to withhold funding that feeds families, seniors and children — and continues doubling down on this cruelty by challenging the courts’ clear orders,” Hochul said.
