On last night’s “Inside City Hall”, we debated the NYPD’s controversial police stop-and-frisk, tactic with Glenn Martin of the Fortune Society and Heather MacDonald, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

Watch a clip of the interview above.

Tonight’s guests include: Congressional candidate Joyce Johnson; our Friday Reporters Roundtable.

The New York Times

Anna Phillips reports: “The city is proposing to offer buyouts to a pool of teachers who draw full salaries but have no permanent jobs, abandoning efforts to have them laid off but potentially solving one of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s most intractable education issues.”

Michael Grynbaum notes: “A coalition of labor unions and liberal advocacy groups is planning an ambitious effort to support mayoral candidates who pledge to reverse some of the Bloomberg administration’s more-contentious public education policies.”

Baker & Goldstein write: “A day after a federal judge issued a ruling fiercely criticizing the New York Police Department’s stop-and-frisk tactics, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly unveiled new measures on Thursday intended to reduce the frequency of illegitimate stops.”

Kate Taylor reports: “State Senator Adriano Espaillat moved Thursday to consolidate Latino support for his candidacy to win the House seat long held by Representative Charles B. Rangel, picking up the endorsement of Adolfo Carrión Jr., the former Bronx borough president.”

New York Post

A Post trio writes: “The state Department of Health yesterday moved to close financially crippled Soundview Healthcare Network — whose founder, Pedro Espada Jr., was convicted Monday of looting the Bronx nonprofit’s coffers of nearly $500,000.”

Miller & Bennett report: “Sen. Charles Schumer wants to ban wealthy Americans who renounce their citizenship to get a tax break from ever returning to the US — a measure his critics ripped as a job killer. The idea was prompted by news of Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin’s decision to become a citizen of Singapore to save a fortune ahead of the Web giant’s IPO today.”

Carl Campanile notes: “Bill Clinton is abandoning his old ally Charles Rangel, who is fighting for his political life as he seeks re-election to a 22nd term, The Post has learned. Harlem Rep. Rangel won’t be getting an endorsement from the former president, who will sit out the primary, a Clinton source said.”

New York Daily News

Oren Yaniv notes: “A Brooklyn judge has given new meaning to the High Court.
Supreme Court Justice Gustin Reichbach revealed Thursday he illegally smokes pot to battle the side-effects from treatment of his pancreatic cancer — and implored state lawmakers to lighten up and pass a medical marijuana law.”

Blau & Moore write: “Christine Quinn was in wedding freak-out mode Thursday — her worries endless, her vows unwritten and her nuptials less than three days away. ‘I’m nervous that I’m going to trip on my heels,’ the City Council speaker said breathlessly.”

Have a great weekend.

Until Monday!
