            Welcome to the Reader‘s morning briefing for Wednesday, July 5, 2017.

• New York Daily News responds to Rahm op-ed with “dumb track mind” and “murder capital mayor” cover

            Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s              New York Times op-ed          praising CTA trains and slamming New York City’s     subway stem didn’t go over well. The New York Daily News slammed Emanuel on     its cover Tuesday with the headlines “DUMB TRACK MIND,” “MURDER CAPITAL     MAYOR HITS SUBWAY,” and “Rahm touts Chicago trains but, AT LEAST our riders     don’t get SHOT on the way home!” A NYC transit official interviewed for the     story said, “The mayor of Chicago would seem to have enough of his own     problems to focus on without trying to save face by capitalizing on someone     else’s crisis.” [DNAinfo Chicago]
