Description
An MTA pilot program that made certain bus routes free is coming to an end after it was omitted from this year’s state budget. Meanwhile, warning labels could be on the way for sugary foods and drinks at chain restaurants in New York City with over 15 locations, following a suggestion from the Health Department. Plus, two years ago, Rob Menendez had an easy path to the House of Representatives, filling the seat once held by his father, Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey. However, the younger Menendez’s advantage has virtually disappeared since his father faces bribery and corruption charges. Now, Menendez Jr. faces a tough primary challenge from the mayor of Hoboken, Ravi Bhalla. WNYC’s Nancy Solomon reports. Finally, for the last Friday of National Poetry Month, we hear a poem from 10-year-old Kayden Hern of Harlem.
