Description
Mayor Eric Adams says his administration is weighing all options to push back on two policing bills that just passed in the City Council, including a ban of most forms of solitary confinement in city jails and a requirement for the NYPD to report some low level stops. Also, 2023 was a tough year on many fronts so WNYC's Precious Fondren spoke with eight mental health professionals to find out what New Yorkers worried about the most. And lastly, for 35 years The Tenement Museum in the Lower East Side has had a strict approach to recreate the apartments of real people who actually lived in the museum's tenement buildings, but our own Ryan Kailath reports, that's about to change.
