She digs into why assaults have replaced robberies as the driver of violent crime underground, why the age of offenders has gone way up, and a series of recommendations that start with making clear the subways are for transit and establishing a unified governance system organized around a single repository of shared data.

Plus, co-hosts Katie Honan and Harry gab about the latest mayoral fund-raising numbers and the state of the race including Adrienne Adams not yet qualifying for matching funds, Eric Adams’ invisible campaign and tired St. Patrick’s Day “joke,” and what’s wrong with Andrew Cuomo’s effort to run an Albany-style campaign in New York City.
