Description

Some people at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park on the border of Queens and Nassau County may have been exposed to measles in the last week after a patient who visited the emergency department was diagnosed with the respiratory illness. Meanwhile, this week marks the beginning of celebrations for many in New York City's Jewish, Hindu, and Christian communities. WNYC's Tiffany Hanssen has more. Plus, New Jersey First Lady Tammy Murphy has exited the U.S. Senate race, leaving Congress member Andy Kim as the sole frontrunner among at least three candidates to replace Bob Menendez. With some of the state’s most powerful Democratic political bosses previously endorsing Murphy, she was in a good position to make a run. So why did she decide to exit the race? WNYC’s Michael Hill speaks with New Jersey editor Louis Hochman to make sense of the decision. Finally, the number of auto thefts in New York City has spiked over the past 5 years but has been trending down lately due to some new and unusual tactics that police use to catch thieves. WNYC’s Matt Katz reports.
