Description

This week, in New York City's deadliest shooting in decades, a Las Vegas resident entered a Midtown office building and shot multiple people with an automatic weapon. That includes NYPD officer Didarul Islam, who was laid to rest Thursday. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan discuss the broader political ramifications of the tragedy and how it affects the race for mayor.

 

After that, the Office of Cannabis Management's failure to properly oversee legal cannabis dispensaries accidentally allowed dozens of stores to open too close to schools and churches. This mistake is causing a major disruption for small business owners in the cannabis industry. The “Off Topic" team looks at the impact of these regulatory missteps.
