About this episode
Tuesday is the registration deadline for New Jersey's Democratic Senate primary. On Monday night in South Orange the three candidates debated several topics including the Israel-Hamas conflict. Meanwhile, New York Mets owner Steve Cohen is pushing to rezone the Citi Field parking lot for a new casino, which Jackson Heights community groups say could generate a billion dollars in economic development. Plus, a new report from a New York State watchdog and a nonprofit law firm reveals that many city public hospital psychiatric patients lack access to fresh air during extended stays, an issue advocates claim violates patient rights. In response, NYC Health and Hospitals cites safety and security concerns as reasons for restricting outdoor access. WNYC’s Michael Hill speaks with reporter Caroline Lewis and former psychiatric patient Michael Kronenberg to learn more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
