Description

New Jersey Congress member Andy Kim has won another Democratic convention where members are allowed to vote in secret for a U.S Senate candidate. Meanwhile, former New York Mets and Yankees star Daryl Strawberry says he's recovering from a heart attack. Also, starting now, eligible New Yorkers can file their taxes for free with help from the state through the new program called "File Your State Taxes." Plus, the 9th season of the Queens Night Market in Flushing Meadows is just over a month away, where the $5 and $6 cap on food will remain. Finally, some New Jersey lawmakers are looking to scale back legislation on the Open Public Records Act (OPRA), one of the most powerful tools journalists and the public have to find out what the government is up to in the state. WNYC’s Sean Carlson speaks with Terrence McDonald, editor of the New Jersey Monitor to hear a little more about how the law is used and how it could change.
