Description

Con Ed says a power surge took place at a DUMBO substation while a transmission line was being restored. Also, Mayor Adams' plan to curb spending on migrants is showing some gains -- at least on paper. The Independent Budget Office predicts the city will spend six to eight billion dollars on migrants' care the next two years, which is much less than the mayor’s office estimate in August of nearly eleven billion. And the GOP has picked Nassau county legislator Mazi Pilip as their candidate to replace former congressman George Santos.
