New York considers drivers for ride-hailing car services such as Uber freelance workers rather than employees, according to the citys chief taxi regulator, a policy that supports the companys business model.
New Yorks 33 public housing developments will get $3 billion from FEMA, its largest grant ever, to repair damage from Hurricane Sandy and to protect against a future storm.
New York misspent $6.8 million after Hurricane Sandy in payments to independent consultants for flawed and incomplete work that delayed help to at least 20,000 people with damaged homes.
A Delta Air Lines plane skidded off a runway at LaGuardia Airport on Thursday, closing the airport as ice and windblown snow shut down businesses and government offices from New York to Washington.
