Description

Seven members of the New York City Council have formed a group called the New Parents Caucus, urging Mayor Eric Adams to fully fund universal childcare for children under 5, among other legislative priorities. Meanwhile, the Knicks and Rangers each begin their playoff runs this weekend. Plus, Governor Kathy Hochul has announced a provision in the upcoming state budget deal that grants the city the authority to lower speed limits to 20 mph on most streets. Amy Cohen, an advocate for street safety, speaks with Michael Hill about the news. Finally, to mark National Poetry Month, we’re featuring poems from our listeners.
