Description
A new report from the health nonprofit KFF says nursing homes in New York and New Jersey are ill-prepared for new federal staffing rules that require about 3.5 hours of clinical care per resident each day. In other news, a state appellate court has upheld the decision to prevent New York City from moving about 250,000 retired city workers to a privatized Medicare plan. Meanwhile, major delays are expected for JFK travelers this summer due to increased traffic and the construction of two new terminals and roadways. Also, it’s the 40th anniversary of the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical "Sunday in the Park with George." Plus, WNYC’s David Brand tours an office building being converted into housing in the Financial District. Finally, amid investigations into anti-Semitism at CUNY campuses, some Jewish students say they don’t feel safe, but WNYC’s Arun Venugopal reports the investigation has also sparked fear among CUNY faculty.
