“The Brooklyn Museum has taken some major steps “The Brooklyn Museum has taken some major steps in transformative changes to reach audiences in the new century. Just one among many is the hiring of a visionary capital projects executive, Brooklyn native Brigham Keehner, to redesign and reinvigorate some of the museum’s public spaces in tandem with the 200th anniversary of its founding. “I came to the museum because of a shared passion for serving the city, its people and its environment with a broader impact on social justice,” says Keehner, who grew up on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights. “It’s an organization that is adept at envisioning how places can heal, restore and reimagine the physical and social fabric of our urban spaces.”’ Read the rest of our “Young Architect, With Deep Roots At Brooklyn Museum, Becomes Lead on $55M Renovation” article, which is linked in our bio.
“Rapper Fetty Wap was jailed Monday after, prose “Rapper Fetty Wap was jailed Monday after, prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York say, he threatened to kill a man during a FaceTime call in 2021, violating the terms of his pretrial release in a pending federal drug conspiracy case. Wap, whose real name is Willie Maxwell, told the man, “Imma kill you and everybody you with,” and flashed a gun during the Dec. 11 video call about two months after his arrest in the drug case, prosecutors said.” Read the rest of our “Rapper Fetty Wap jailed after making FaceTime threat” article, which is linked in our bio.
“A Manhattan judge ruled Friday to throw out the “A Manhattan judge ruled Friday to throw out the New York City education department’s budget and allow the City Council and Mayor Eric Adams to reconsider how to fund schools this year. Judge Lyle Frank ruled in favor of two teachers and two parents who filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court last month, claiming that the city violated state law when it approved the education department’s budget for this fiscal year.” Read the rest of our “Judge orders redo for NYC schools budget” article, which is linked in our bio.
“At this rate, the total payouts from litigation “At this rate, the total payouts from litigation for 2022 could potentially balloon to over $115 Million Brooklyn NYPD Officer Pedro Rodriguez was involved in one of the largest payouts. The Legal Aid Society released an analysis of data revealing that the City paid out $67,663,389 million in lawsuits alleging police misconduct from January 1 to July 26, 2022. This amount surpasses the $62,093,491 paid out on litigation in all of 2020 and only falls roughly $624,000 short of the litigation payout for the entirety of 2019. At this rate, the City could potentially payout over $115 million in lawsuits alleging police misconduct for calendar year 2022.” Read the rest of our “City Paid Out Almost $68 Million in Lawsuits Alleging Police Misconduct So Far This Year” article, which is linked in our bio.
