Bill Bratton: crime will be a big issue in 2013, but not stop-and-frisk
Former police commissioner Bill Bratton, who has been publicly ruminating about returning to his old job recently, thinks that crime will be a big issue in next year's mayoral elections.
Between 1992 and 1995, New York City hired more than 10,000 cops. Now, many of those cops are nearing retirement (police officers can retire after 20 years). At the same time, crime levels have been trending upward. "I think all of the mayoral candidates understand that this is going to have to be one of, if not their top priorities going back into office, compounded by the large number of officers leaving," said Bratton last night on Inside City Hall.

Belmont, darkly: I'll Have Another runs for the Triple Crown as Andrew Cuomo cracks the whip
The David Milch-Michael Mann show was a gloomy, and accurate, portrayal of life at the track and the pitfalls of gambling. But its unceremonious real-life demise (after three horses died during the filming of its first and only season) was the most telling statement it could have made about the grim state of the horse racing industry. Here in New York, where the world's best horses are currently gathered for this weekend's races at Belmont, things have soured for the New York Racing Association, the group that has run the state’s three thoroughbred racetracks (Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga) since 1955.

G.O.P. chairs shift, bluntly, from Ray Kelly to John Catsimatidis

Republicans keep talking about Ray Kelly, who still isn't doing a thing
Ray Kelly, and the prospect that he might run for mayor in 2013, has been the subject of lots of speculation this week.
Nothing has changed, as far as anyone can tell: Kelly has long been one of the most popular public officials in New York; it has long been a fantasy of city Republicans and many non-Republican members of the political and business establishments that he run; Kelly never acknowledged that he was interested, and still hasn't.

Unlike Christie, Connecticut's governor is OK with what the NYPD is doing in his state
Reaction among elected officials to the surveillance programs of the New York Police Department have broken down roughly along regional lines. In New York, officials have either strongly defended it or they have more or less steered clear of it; New Jersey, where some of the surveillance has taken place, and where officials are conspicuously sensitive in general about perceived sleights from their bigger neighbor, officials from both parties, starting with Governor Chris Christie, have basically accused the NYPD of a massive overreach and told them to stay out.
