This week’s biggest Winners & Losers

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch can keep her dream job. Mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani said he wants to keep Tisch at One Police Plaza, and mayoral also-runners Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa said they’d also keep her if they win. The move comes after Tisch’s fan club, led by Kathy Wylde, pushed Mamdani to keep the popular technocrat on as top cop. Her growing popularity likely won’t quiet speculation that Tisch herself could occupy Gracie Mansion one day.

It’s not every week that you get to unveil a new $3 billion skyscraper in New York City. Dimon was joined by Gov. Kathy Hochul and a gaggle of other elected officials at the ribbon-cutting for the imposing new building, which features 19 restaurants and an Irish pub inside for the 10,000 lucky bankers that get to work there. More good news for Dimon: the latest state comptroller report that found that Wall Street had a really, really good year.

He’s serving face, not time. That’s right, disgraced former Rep. George Santos is a free man again after President Donald Trump commuted his federal prison sentence. The serial liar spent just three months in the slammer instead of the seven years he was supposed to. State prosecutors haven’t ruled out bringing state-level charges, but for now, Santos is free as a bird and back on Cameo – but he’s apparently looking for greener pastures outside the five boroughs.

Even the best laid plans can backfire. Former New York Young Republican Club Chair Gavin Wax resigned from his post in the organization he helped grow into its current form after being blamed for leaks of racist and offensive messages that prompted resignations and firings across the country and the dissolution of the New York State Young Republicans. For now, Wax still has a job in the Trump administration, but he also has the special glory of scoring a political own goal while his party attempts to keep control of Congress.

Already charged with acting as an unregistered agent of China and accused of illegally profiteering off the state’s urgent scramble for masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, former gubernatorial aide Linda Sun is now facing additional charges. Prosecutors recently unveiled a superseding indictment featuring a bevy of new charges – including failure to register as a foreign agent, bank fraud, money laundering and visa fraud. That’s quite a long list.

The LIRR boss could be in the hot seat after a years-long investigation by the MTA inspector general revealed a “widespread culture of fraud and abuse” and implicated 36 of the system’s employees in a wage theft scheme. Free defended the reputation of  “thousands of hard-working LIRR colleagues,” but this probe isn’t the first to find wrongdoing – similar time abuse scandals have marred the system before. And with multiple unions in the system threatening a strike, the LIRR doesn’t have the funds to spare.
