AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoCommuter Rail Crisis: The Long Island Rail Road is effectively shut down after unionized workers walked out at 12:01 a.m., hitting roughly 300,000 riders a day and forcing the MTA to lean on limited shuttles while urging people to work from home or avoid nonessential travel. Political Blame Game: President Trump and Gov. Kathy Hochul traded accusations over who caused the strike, with Hochul saying the Trump administration cut mediation short and Trump insisting it’s “your fault.” Public Safety: SUNY Potsdam is mourning a student killed in an early-morning hit-and-run; police say the vehicle was found and the investigation is active. Local Governance: A Staten Island-backed bill to guarantee borough representation on the MTA board stalled again in the Assembly committee. Health Policy: Hochul signed new laws expanding vaccine coverage and letting pharmacists administer COVID shots to children. Sports (NYC-adjacent): The Sabres and Canadiens series shifts back to Montreal for Game 6, with Buffalo facing elimination.
