The NYPD's Secret Files: A BuzzFeed News Investigation
This report was originally published on April 16.
By Kendall Taggart and Mike Hayes
Today BuzzFeed News is making public one of the New York Police Department’s most fiercely guarded secrets: a database of disciplinary findings for about 1,800 NYPD employees who faced departmental misconduct charges between 2011 and 2015.
This
information has been closely guarded for years, and completely
off-limits since 2016, when the NYPD removed them from public view,
citing a controversial
state law that shields police officers’ misconduct. As a result, New
Yorkers who are charged with a crime have no simple way to find out if
the officer who arrested them has a misconduct record that might affect
their credibility with a jury. Officers who have faced disciplinary
charges have limited information about how their punishment compares
with those of other officers in similar situations. And taxpayers as a
whole have no way to assess how their police department is policing its
own.
Many other large departments, in states such as Illinois and
Florida, routinely make this information available. “The public has a
right to know what our public officials are doing, and this is
especially true with our police officers, who have the power to shoot to
kill, use force, and deprive people of their liberty through stop or
arrest,” said Samuel Walker, a national policing expert.

Charles McDew, 79, Tactician for Student Civil Rights Group, Dies
By Sam Roberts
Charles McDew, whose three arrests in two days as a college student for violating South Carolina’s forbidding racial codes transformed him into a civil rights pioneer, died on April 3 in West Newton, Mass. He was 79.
The cause was a heart attack he had while visiting his longtime partner, Beryl Gilfix, for the Passover holiday, his daughter, Eva Goodman, said. Mr. McDew, who had converted to Judaism, lived in St. Paul.
In 1960, just months after those three arrests, Mr. McDew, as a college freshman from Ohio, became a founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a civil rights group dedicated to direct action but nonviolent tactics in fighting for racial justice.
From later that fall until 1963, he was the organization’s second chairman, serving between Marion Barry, who went on to become the mayor of Washington, D.C., and John Lewis, who was later elected to Congress from Georgia.
In the early 1960s, a growing number of audacious adolescents and young adults gravitated to SNCC (or Snick, as it was popularly called) because they were disenchanted with traditional rights groups.

Governor Cuomo Signs Conforming Order in Death of Saheed Vassell
Governor Andrew Cuomo today announced the issuing of Executive Order No. 147.17. The conforming order amends Executive Order No. 147, signed by the Governor in 2015, to include the investigation, and if warranted, prosecution by the New York State Attorney General of any alleged unlawful acts or omissions by any law enforcement officer relating to the death of Saheed Vassell on April 4, 2018 in Kings County.
"The justice system does not work without the trust of the people," Governor Cuomo said. "I established the special prosecutor three years ago to help restore faith in our criminal justice system and uphold the promise of equality under the law. Today, I am referring the case involving the death of Saheed Vassell to Special Prosecutor Attorney General Schneiderman for investigation."
The Governor signed Executive Order No. 147 on July 8, 2015, which appointed the New York State Attorney General as special prosecutor in matters relating to the deaths of unarmed civilians in deadly encounters with law enforcement. The order allows the special prosecutor to review cases where there is a question whether the civilian was armed and dangerous at the time of his or her death. It remains the first and only executive order of its kind in the nation. More information on Executive Order No. 147 can be found here.
Executive Order No. 147.17 is available here. The full text of the conforming order can be found below:
EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 147.17
In view of the request of Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman, my order and requirement, embodied in Executive Order Number one hundred and forty-seven, dated July 8, 2015, is hereby amended to include an additional paragraph to the penultimate paragraph as amended by Executive Order Numbers 147.1 - 147.16 to read as follows:
FURTHER, the requirement imposed on the Special Prosecutor by this Executive Order shall include the investigation, and if warranted, prosecution:
(q) of any and all unlawful acts or omissions or alleged unlawful acts or omissions by any law enforcement officer, as listed in subdivision 34 of section 1.20 of the Criminal Procedure Law, arising out of, relating to or in any way connected with the death of Saheed Vassell on April 4, 2018, in Kings County.

NYS Tax Department Offers Late-Season Filing Tips and Scam-Prevention Guidance
The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance today offered late-season tax filing tips to help taxpayers avoid scams and stress as the April 17 deadline approaches.
With less than two weeks remaining, roughly 2 million New Yorkers have yet to submit their personal income tax returns.
“When you’re racing against the clock to file your tax returns ahead of the April 17 deadline, mistakes can happen, prompting avoidable interaction with us and delays in any refund due,” said Acting Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Nonie Manion. “Free filing options for those eligible and filing guidance available at our website can ease the process and help you e-file a mistake-free return.”
Tax filing tips
To help New Yorkers file a problem-free return, Acting Commissioner Manion offers these tips:
File and pay electronically. E-filing is safer and more efficient than sending paper returns through the mail. About 92% of all NYS personal income tax returns are electronically prepared and filed. All returns, whether filed electronically or on paper, undergo the same systematic review.
File for free. Taxpayers with adjusted gross household incomes of $66,000 or less in 2017 may access free, user-friendly software from their computer, smartphone, or tablet at www.tax.ny.gov (search: freefile2017). The tax preparation software helps reduce filing errors that can delay return processing and refunds. It also prevents valuable credits from being overlooked.
Use direct deposit. Receive your refund up to a week faster by having it directly deposited into your bank account. Be sure to double check the routing and account numbers for your account.
Always file on time. To avoid penalties and interest, file on time—even if you can’t pay in full; the penalties are much higher for late filing than for late payment. The tax filing deadline is Tuesday, April 17, 2018.
Call during extended hours. The Tax Department call center (518-457-5181) will remain open until 7:30 p.m. tonight and tomorrow to assist taxpayers with last-minute tax return filing questions. Representatives expect to take about 28,000 calls ahead of tomorrow’s deadline. The call center’s normal hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Protect yourself and your information
To help New Yorkers protect themselves, Acting Commissioner Manion offers these tips:
Be on guard. Thieves posing as IRS agents or Tax Department employees use this time of year to prey on unsuspecting taxpayers. Their tactics can become aggressive and threatening, which isn’t how the Tax Department or the IRS will speak to taxpayers. Their tone is a clue that they’re imposters.
Provide your personal information only to someone you trust. Never meet anyone in person who claims to be a tax representative and insists you pay a debt.
Beware of “phishing” emails. Taxpayers may receive emails using legitimate-looking government logos and offering assistance in settling fake tax issues. Remember, the Tax Department and the IRS will never request personal or financial information by email.
Taxpayers can protect themselves against becoming victims by not clicking links in the bogus emails and instead going straight to the IRS or Tax Department website.
Avoid identity theft. Your tax return contains personal information, including your Social Security and bank account numbers. To prevent your sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands, store it in a secure place and provide it only to a tax preparer you trust. Also, regularly monitor your financial accounts for suspicious activity.
Report it. If you believe that you’ve been contacted by a scammer, have been the victim of fraud or identity theft, or suspect a tax preparer is engaging in illegal activities, visit the Tax Department’s Report fraud, scams, and identity theft webpage to learn how to make an anonymous report. The Tax Department reviews each complaint and takes corrective action as appropriate.

White House Chief of Staff Contradicts White House Claim on VA Shakeup
John Kelly told veterans groups last week that President Trump decided to remove VA secretary David Shulkin, despite the administration’s insistence that Shulkin resigned. The dispute could have legal implications for VA policies.
by Isaac Arnsdorf
by Isaac Arnsdorf
White House chief of staff John Kelly contradicted the White House’s
claims about David Shulkin’s departure as secretary of veterans affairs,
a discrepancy that could lead to legal challenges of decisions made by
Shulkin’s interim successor.
In a private meeting last week with major veterans groups, Kelly
repeatedly said that the decision to remove Shulkin was President Donald
Trump’s, according to several people who were present or briefed on the
meeting. The White House has insisted that Shulkin resigned, disputing his assertion, in media appearances, that he was fired. (Whether voluntarily or not, his tenure as VA secretary ended on March 29.)
“Kelly said the president felt he needed to make a change with
Secretary Shulkin and went ahead and made it to get the VA back on
track,” said Dan Caldwell, the director of influential conservative
group Concerned Veterans for America (also known as CVA), who attended
the meeting.
A White House spokesman stood by the claim that Shulkin resigned.
The distinction isn’t just a matter of semantics. Under the Federal
Vacancies Reform Act, the president can appoint an interim successor to
succeed a cabinet secretary who dies, resigns or can’t perform his or
her duties. But it doesn’t say what happens if the secretary is fired.
It’s unsettled legal territory, but some scholars say
it could open the door to challenging decisions made by the person
Trump appointed as acting VA secretary, Robert Wilkie (an official in
the Department of Defense). The argument would be that Wilkie lacked
proper authority to make the decisions in question, the scholars say.

Prosecutors Support New Trial for Meek Mill, but Rapper Will Remain in Prison
by Erik Ortiz
Rapper Meek Mill is getting closer to having his day in court, again.
Philadelphia prosecutors told a judge Monday that they support a new trial for Mill, whose multi-year sentence for a probation violation has become a rallying cry for criminal justice reform.
As
dozens of Mill's supporters gathered outside the courthouse shouting
"free Meek," the District Attorney's office said it believes there is
enough evidence to vacate Mill's conviction after the police officer in
his initial 2007 arrest on drug and gun charges landed on a list of
officers suspected of lying in court and framing witnesses over the
years.

No Way to Treat a Dog: Cuomo Denounces Trump Administration Plan to Cut TSA Canine Teams
Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo
"The Trump Administration's proposal to cut funding for programs that secure New York's most obvious targets
is unacceptable. The federal government has already sent a clear
message that it prioritizes tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans over
vital services that benefit all Americans, but to cut spending on
critical security is inexcusable.
"Canine
teams play a vital role in life-saving security measures across our
state, including in our airports and transit hubs like Penn Station and
Grand Central.
"New
York will always be a unique target, both as the economic and cultural
center of the nation and because we stand for the values of freedom and
democracy. The safety of New Yorkers is our number one priority and the
State, including the MTA and the Port Authority, will continue to
support canine teams and fill in gaps in federal spending where
necessary.
"I urge Congress to consider the dangerous implications of this budget proposal and reject it outright."

Twin Brothers Get Rich Sheltering Homeless in Disgusting Apartments
A New York Daily News Exclusive
By James Fanelli
Twin brothers with identical eye-popping salaries have been
double-dipping off their nonprofit that provides housing to the city’s
homeless — even as their clients suffered poor service and have been
blindsided by eviction notices.
Mark and Solomon Lazar, the sons of Joseph Lazar, a former political
ally of Mayor de Blasio, each make $240,000 a year as the top executives
of the Brooklyn-based nonprofit LCG Community Services. But their big
checks don’t end there.
The city has paid millions of dollars to LCG Community Services to
place homeless families in temporary housing since 2012. The city also
awarded LGC a four-year, $10.9 million contract in 2015 to run a
Brooklyn shelter.
Mark and Solomon Lazar, in turn, use LCG to pay millions of dollars to a
for-profit firm, Razzal Hospitality and Management — which they own.

Why Isn't PBS Included in the Cable Alternatives?
By Jefferson Graham
LOS ANGELES — A big question for many cord cutters — why isn't PBS included in the new crop of cable alternative services?
Offerings
from YouTube, DirecTV and Dish often offer fewer channels and cost
one-third or more of traditional cable bills. With top channels like the
broadcast TV networks, CNN, AMC and ESPN, they make an attractive offer
for those looking for a respite from huge cable TV bills.
CBS,
NBC, ABC, Fox and the CW are featured on most of the alternatives, but
PBS, the other longtime traditional broadcast TV channel, is not.
“It’s
a high priority for us,” says Ira Rubenstein, the chief digital officer
for PBS. “We hope to be there sooner rather than later.”
The
reasons for PBS's absence are complicated, but it comes down to
this: Unlike CBS and the other broadcast networks, PBS hasn't acquired
the on-demand streaming rights for all of its shows. Rubenstein says
he's working on finalizing those deals.

Cynthia Nixon Has Already Won
By Jessica Pressler
They say politics is
Hollywood for ugly people, so it’s understandable that the question of
why exactly Cynthia Nixon is running for governor of New York is one
that keeps coming up. After all, Nixon has had the kind of career most
actors dream about. The past two years saw her inhabiting complicated,
interesting characters like Emily Dickinson and Nancy Reagan and taking
home a Tony — her second — for the Broadway production of Lillian
Hellman’s The Little Foxes. She could’ve kept going, agitating
for her favored progressive causes while looking for the kind of part
that would’ve netted her an Oscar, the last award she needs to get an
EGOT.
And: “There actually was
a part,” Nixon admitted recently, sitting on a barstool in her Noho
kitchen on a weekday morning. It was playing a female politician, she
said, and it was good, and although she declined to say who the
character was, looking at her layered bob (several shades lighter than
the red she’d had as Miranda on Sex and the City), intelligent
blue eyes, button nose, and Cool Whip complexion, you wouldn’t have to
be a genius casting director to figure it out.
“Blonde?” I asked. “Partial to pantsuits?”
Nixon pursed her lips in a mysterious smile that only served to emphasize that she’d have been an excellent Hillary Clinton.
But
instead of playing a politician, Cynthia Nixon has decided to become
one, a choice many have found confounding. Who would trade all of this —
the career, the apartment, the comfortable distance from reality — for
glad-handing, and stale coffee in Styrofoam cups, and answering for a
number of decades-old Sex and the City grievances, and, you know, Albany? “People were like, ‘I think it’s great, but just why?’ ”
Nixon said onstage at the Cutting Room in Murray Hill, at her recent
52nd-birthday party, which doubled as a fund-raiser. “Why would you
possibly do this?”

Department of Labor to Issue Notice to Hospitals After Claims of Threatening and Coercive Behavior at Albany Med
On April 15, Governor Andrew Cuomo directed the New York State Department of Labor to issue a notice to hospitals to support safe staffing and continued organizing, following allegations of threatening and coercive behavior at Albany Medical Center ahead of a vote by registered nurses there to join the New York State Nurses Association. The notice reminds hospitals that there are laws, both state and federal, and regulations governing union organizing efforts and that hospitals that illegally try to prevent or dissuade personnel from unionizing will be held accountable.
"New York is a union state, and we have zero tolerance for any attempts to illegally interfere in the fundamental right to join a union," Governor Cuomo said. "At a time when organized labor is under attack, New York is stepping up for our union brothers and sisters and those seeking to organize—especially the nurses who serve our sick and elderly at hospitals across the state. Healthcare is a critical priority, and this administration will do everything we can to protect Medicaid State funding and quality patient care. I am proud to stand with the men and women in our hospitals and support safe staffing levels that ensure the highest quality of care."
