Hundreds of apparent illegal pot shops shuttered as part of Mayor Eric Adams’ high-profile crackdown could be at risk of reopening — thanks to a new ruling that found the city is skipping out on part of the legal process.

“Almost every store has a right to be reopened,” said Lance Lazzaro, the lawyer for Bell Grocery & Deli in Bayside, dubbing the process for closing the shops...

The industry is still dealing with the high inflation and supply chain issues that turned 2023 into a parade of horribles. Now opponents to American offshore wind — most prominently former president Donald Trump — are one election away from storming the gates of the federal bureaucracy. We don’t know yet whether the Vineyard Wind blade breakage was a fluke or the result of a problem with the blades themselves, but that hasn’t stopped critics of offshore wind from shouting about it — and...
