INSIDE THE PAPERS
The New York Times
Wendy Ruderman reports on the contentious City Council hearing about the NYPD.
Joseph Goldstein notes: “In 2011, New York City police officers shot and killed 9 suspects and injured 19 more, the second-lowest annual toll in recent city history, according to a Police Department report.”
Reporting from London, Ravi Somaiya reports: “Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg addressed Britain’s governing Conservative Party on Wednesday, seeking to emphasize his ties to the country and to link his governing style to the milder brand of conservatism embodied by the right wing here.”
Weiser & Chen report: “Federal prosecutors have sharply rejected claims that the authorities had sought to pressure a former fund-raiser for John C. Liu, the New York City comptroller, into helping “manufacture a criminal case against Mr. Liu” in the investigation of his fund-raising practices.”
Lisa Foderaro looks at how there is a backlog of much-needed repairs at state parks.
Daniella Silva writes: “The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct has censured a Manhattan judge for accepting and failing to report $250,000 in contributions from a former boss, which she then funneled into her election campaign.”
New York Post
Josh Margolin reports: “City Councilman Dan Halloran is no longer a campaign-finance scofflaw, according to the state Board of Elections, now that he’s filed 2 1/2 years worth of delinquent forms in Albany, The Post has learned.”
