New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is launching a new public dashboard this Thursday, that offers a detailed look at the city's shelter population by age and demographic. Meanwhile, the New York City Council is considering a bill to make it easier to tip delivery drivers after a city law mandated an increase in pay that delivery companies pay workers.
