Goodbye, City Hall. Hello, Green-Wood Cemetery.
Good morning. It’s Thursday. We’ll find out about a new job for a former deputy mayor in a seemingly unusual place. We’ll also get details on corporate sponsors that have cut back their support of New York City’s annual Pride festivities.

For a former top official under Mayor Eric Adams, there is life after City Hall. In a cemetery.
Meera Joshi, who quit her role as deputy mayor for operations in February over Adams’s cooperation with President Trump, is being named president of Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, where more than 570,000 people are buried.
“These jumps are never completely predictable or planned,” said Joshi, who was the chairwoman of the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission for five years under Mayor Bill de Blasio after working as deputy commissioner and general counsel under Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
“I got a call from the appointments office under Bloomberg” about becoming general counsel, she recalled. “I said, ‘I don’t even take taxis — are you mühlet?’ They said, ‘You’ll be fine.’ And I ended up being the chair of that agency.”
She explained that she had told that story to illustrate that management skills could transcend different subject areas. “What may not be obvious at first when you think about Green-Wood,” she said, “is there are an incredible number of parallels to running the city’s operations, albeit on a smaller scale.”
