3. NYC Data Sleuths Will Dig Through Company Records For Violations (patch.com) — New York City is building a 36-person data team to scrutinize company records for wage violations, algorithmic pricing abuses and unfair scheduling, expanding beyond individual worker complaints.

4. 54 NYC Billionaires Worth A Combined $722.2B Make Exclusive Forbes 400 (patch.com) — New Yorkers get a close-up look at extreme wealth as 54 city-based billionaires, led by Michael Bloomberg at $94.9 billion, secure spots on the latest Forbes 400 list. The piece details how these New York fortunes were made, from hedge funds and private equity to media, real estate, fashion, and technology, while noting the growing dominance of artificial intelligence in creating new U.S. billionaires.
5. State Pols Seek To Close Loophole That Lets Retailers Sell 'Illegal' E-Motos (streetsblog.org) — State lawmakers representing New York City are pushing a bill to ban retail sales of high-speed "e-motos" that are illegal to ride on streets but still widely sold to New Yorkers. The proposal would clearly define these vehicles, block shipments to New York addresses, and empower the attorney general to act against deceptive sellers. Supporters say it would protect city riders, pedestrians, and delivery workers while preserving access to legal e-bikes.
