About this episode

Lawyers are preparing for a courtroom showdown next week over Governor Kathy Hochul's pause on congestion pricing. As WNYC's Stephen Nessen reports, new court filings accuse the governor of holding the tolling program hostage. Meanwhile, transit officials are again warning drivers to avoid part of the BQE this weekend, as officials install new weight sensors to monitor large trucks. Plus, a WNYC analysis of corrections data shows the Adams administration is failing to meet city and federal guidelines requiring timely investigations into sexual abuse at city jails. Reporter Matt Katz has the details. Finally, the MTA is warning of the dangers of subway surfing after an 11-year-old boy died this week after falling from a train in Brooklyn. As part of WNYC’s Radio Rookies program, 16-year-old Noah Augustin explores why young people take such a dangerous risk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
