• The level of confidence the mayor has that this order will hold up in court
• News that the Department of Investigation is investigating if NYCHA bears any culpability in the death of a 6-year-old boy due to a trash chute fire at the Mitchel Houses, and whether Housing Authority leaders will face any consequences
