概要

 New York grapples with a deadly cold snap as top headlines dominate with 13 hypothermia deaths in New York City linked to brutal winter weather, according to NBC New York Morning News on February 4. Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces scrutiny over shelter policies amid the crisis, while warming centers remain open across boroughs, as reported by NYC Emergency Management. A recent nor'easter dumped over a foot of snow in parts of the city, exacerbating icy roads and travel woes, per FOX Weather.

In government and politics, the state legislature kicked off its 2026 joint budget hearings from January 27 through February 26 to scrutinize Governor Hochul's executive budget proposal, the New York State Legislature announced. Democrats swept recent special elections, strengthening their hold as the DLCC eyes a Senate supermajority in 2026. Locally, Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez secured $15.6 million in federal funding for Brooklyn and Queens projects, including NYCHA security lighting and roadway upgrades. Tensions rise over a second lawsuit by New York and New Jersey against the Trump administration, alleging illegal withholding of funds for the Gateway Tunnel project, which risks halting construction and 1,000 union jobs by Friday, NBC New York reports. Meanwhile, Mayor Mamdani and NYCHA unveiled a $38.4 million investment in heat pumps for Beach 41st Street Houses.

Economically, New York's minimum wage rose to $17 per hour in NYC, Long Island, and Westchester as of January 1, per legal updates from JD Supra. Clean energy initiatives promise over 11,000 jobs from renewable projects, Cornell ILR notes, amid calls from labor groups for universal childcare and Tier 6 pension fixes in the FY2027 budget agenda.

Community efforts spotlight education with Kamar Samuels as new schools chancellor under Mamdani, City & State New York reports. Public safety concerns emerge from alleged DHS operations violating local orders in Jersey City and Hoboken. Infrastructure pushes forward despite funding fights.

Looking Ahead: Watch for Governor Muriel Bowser's Newark Penn visit on the tunnel crisis, ongoing budget hearings through late February, and potential relief on federal funding deadlines.
