“Inside City Hall,” an hour-long look at New York politics, can be seen on NY1 News weekdays at 7 and 10 p.m.

On last night’s “Inside City Hall”, David Westin, the former president of ABC News, discussed his new book "Exit Interview" which details his eventful years at the helm of that network.

Watch a clip of the interview above.

Tonight’s guests include U-S Senate Candidate Wendy Long and our Friday Reporters Roundtable.

INSIDE THE PAPERS

New York Times

Kate Taylor looks at the endorsement battle going on in Rep. Charles Rangel’s tough primary fight against Adriano Espaillat.

Michael Grynbaum reports on the return of reporters to City Hall’s press room, Room 9.

New York Post

Dave Seifman writes: “Mayor Bloomberg angrily vowed yesterday that he won’t allow New York to turn into Philadelphia, where the murder rate jumped after officials settled a stop-and-frisk lawsuit and agreed to a monitoring program.”

Bill Sanderson notes: “Mayor Bloomberg yesterday called a proposed taxi- fare hike ‘a good idea’ — and warned medallion owners to keep their hands off the profits.”

Goldenberg & Kriss write: “Snubbed! The New York State Democratic Party denied embattled city Comptroller John Liu a slot to attend the 2012 convention in Charlotte, NC, this summer to nominate President Obama for re-election, The Post has learned.”

New York Daily News

Robert Gearty notes: “The bookworms of Occupy Wall Street have slapped the city with some hefty library fines. The police raid on Zuccotti Park destroyed or damaged 2,800 books that had been donated to the protest movement’s ‘People's Library,’ a new lawsuit charges.”

Columnist Juan Gonzalez looks at cost overruns at the 911 call center in Brooklyn.

Have a great holiday weekend.

Until Tuesday.
