On last night’s “Inside City Hall”, we hosted a debate on the merits of increasing the state's minimum wage with two advocates and two opponents.

Watch a clip of the segment above.

Tonight’s guests include: Our NY1 Wise Guys and a panel looking at the role of the Internet in this year's presidential campaign.

The New York Times

Grynbaum & Flegenheimer write: “New York City’s Taxi and Limousine Commission agreed on Monday to formally consider a proposal from the yellow cab industry that would raise taxi fares by as much as 20 percent, a significant increase to a pricing structure that has been virtually unchanged since 2006.”

Danny Hakim reports: “Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver raised concerns on Monday about the independence of a proposed state agency that would prosecute abuse of people with mental or physical disabilities.”

Patrick McGeehan notes: “The executives of Google are putting their interests in New York City ahead of their old school ties. On Monday, Larry Page, the chief executive of Google, announced that the company would donate space so Cornell University can have a temporary home for the applied sciences school it plans to build in the city. While the campus is under construction on Roosevelt Island, students and faculty of the new Cornell school will occupy space in Google’s large building in the Chelsea section of Manhattan.”

The Times writes: “Declaring that Sept. 11 is a day for reflection, and not for politics, New York has decided to delay this year’s state and local primary election for two days. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation on Monday moving the state primary to Thursday, Sept. 13, from Tuesday, Sept. 11. Lawmakers said the move was out of respect for those who will attend memorial services to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.”

New York Post

Gerry Shields notes: “Timothy Cardinal Dolan helped lead a national charge of lawsuits filed yesterday against the Obama administration for requiring Catholic employers to provide birth-control coverage in health plans.”

Kriss & Seifman write: “Gov. Cuomo called a hike in the state’s minimum wage a virtual mission impossible in this state legislative election year. ‘I don’t think it’s possible,’ he said yesterday on upstate’s ‘Capitol Pressroom’ radio show, citing a lack of support among the state Senate’s Republican majority. ‘We hope for the ideal. We live in the real,’ Cuomo said.”

A Post trio reports: “Mayor Bloomberg took a swipe at the embattled teachers- union chief yesterday — saying the labor leader’s assertion that a lawsuit against him is absurd could just as easily apply to the union’s outlandish filings against the city.”

New York Daily News

Pete Donohue writes: “The LIRR extension to Grand Central Terminal may cost $920 million more than the MTA’s most recent estimate, officials said Monday. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority also pushed back the East Side Access project’s expected completion date by three years to August 2019.”

Until tomorrow.
