About this episode
Former three-term Long Island Congressmember Tom Suozzi has announced that he’s planning to run for Congress next year. Also, police have arrested three teenagers in connection to an anti-LGBTQ attack on a 72-year-old man in Chelsea last month. And starting Tuesday, travelers can use OMNY readers to ride the AirTrain to and from JFK Airport. Plus, according to recent estimates, a quarter of New York City kids can't swim, with children of color less likely to be able to than their white counterparts. To address this problem, the City Council is moving to require second graders to receive swimming instruction. For more, WNYC’s Janae Pierre spoke with Paulana Lamonier, founder of the organization Black People Will Swim. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
