About this episode

A New Jersey farm workers’ nonprofit is suing the state, alleging laborers are being denied equal pay protections. Meanwhile, Cape May County’s Middle Thorofare Bridge has reopened unexpectedly, just days after officials announced its indefinite closure. In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams will attend the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday but is not scheduled to speak. Plus, a decades-old New Jersey law requiring municipalities to build their “fair share” of affordable housing is spurring new developments. WNYC’s Mike Hayes reports. Finally, WNYC’s Community Partnerships Desk, in collaboration with Street Lab, recently visited Morris Heights in the Bronx to spotlight local stories. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
