A toll on drivers in Manhattan below 60th Street is closer to becoming reality after a federal judge rejected an injunction to block congestion pricing. Meanwhile, Governor Kathy Hochul has vetoed a bill that would have allowed people with felony convictions to serve on juries. Plus, New York City may also revise its sanctuary city policies in the new year. Also, Brooklyn’s Buttermilk Channel is closing after 16 years, Finally, WNYC’s Jessica Gould takes us to Hell’s Kitchen, where kindergartners are exploring musical theater with a “Wicked” twist.
