On Friday night’s “Inside City Hall”, White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett discussed the economy and the decision by the Susan G. Komen Foundation to reverse itself on funding breast cancer screening at Planned Parenthood.

Watch a clip of the interview above.

Tonight’s guests include: U.S. Senate candidate George Maragos and our Consultants Corner.

The New York Times

John Eligon notes: “The issue of using public schools for religious services has been a matter of debate for decades. Because of a recent federal court ruling that upheld a city policy of not allowing religious services in public schools, dozens of congregations throughout New York have been told that they must move; next Sunday will be the last time they will be allowed to rent space in schools for services.”

Patrick McGeehan reports: “The city’s health department uses no sugar-coating in its latest ads, which feature images of overweight people whose mobility is impaired to warn of the dangers of ever-growing portions of unhealthy food and soft drinks. The ads are the latest installment in a campaign by the Bloomberg administration to jolt New Yorkers out of bad health habits; other ads, which have run in the transit system and on local broadcast outlets and the Internet, have depicted smokers who lost fingertips or their ability to speak normally.”

New York Post

In his column, Fred Dicker writes: “Gov. Cuomo and Senate Republicans are on a collision course that could soon return state government to the “chaos of past years,” sources close to both sides have told The Post. Republicans are threatening to hold up key elements of Cuomo’s 2012 agenda — including pension and budget reforms and possibly legalized casino gambling — if he follows through on his threat to veto the Legislature’s heavily gerrymandered lines for new Senate districts, the sources said.”

David Seifman notes: “A new set of gut-wrenching numbers shows that Housing Authority plumbers are cleaning up on overtime. Thirty-one of the pipe workers are on the list of 100 top city overtime earners in 2011, according to records prepared by the Office of Payroll Administration.”

Gerry Shields reports: “Pay up, America. Mayor Bloomberg took his call for the expiration of the Bush tax cuts to the national stage yesterday, saying all Americans — not just the wealthy — should pay to get the federal government out of its fiscal hole.”

Sally Goldenberg notes: “A startling number of healthy, young cops who responded to the 9/11 attacks have since been diagnosed with cancer, according to new data obtained by The Post. The statistics — which show nearly a tripling in the number of cops applying for cancer-related disability pensions post-9/11 — are the first of their kind to become public and confirm the fears of at least 12,000 police officers who toiled amid the rubble at the toxic World Trade Center site.”

New York Daily News

Ken Lovett writes: “Gov. Cuomo was a high-flying fund-raiser in the last six months — thanks to campaign donors who lent him their private jets, the Daily News has learned. A half-dozen contributors spent $145,583 to jet Cuomo to events in Puerto Rico, California, Buffalo, Syracuse, New York City and the Hudson Valley, according to records and his office. The flights, legal under state law, were listed as in-kind contributions to either Cuomo or the state Democratic party.”

Alison Gendar reports: “Mayor Bloomberg slammed Congress Sunday for not providing federal funding to keep guns out of the wrong hands. Touting a new Super Bowl ad against illegal guns, the mayor said states don’t get enough money to perform proper background checks on gun applicants.”

Until tomorrow.
