Description

NYPD tow truck driver Stephanie Sharp is under arrest after police say her city vehicle hit and killed a child on a scooter yesterday in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman says he will vote to expel Republican George Santos next week. Corporal punishment is now against the law in all types of schools in New York State after Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill into law Wednesday banning the practice in private schools. Also, as congestion pricing costs are still being decided for the MTA's congestion pricing program, WNYC's Stephen Nessen says there’s a key issue still up for debate. Finally, New Jersey Democrats are searching for the best candidate to run for the seat Senator Bob Menendez occupies. The biggest name that’s come up is Tammy Murphy, the governor’s wife. WNYC’s Nancy Solomon reports on how that suggestion raises a question in New Jersey politics; Why aren’t there more women in contention for higher office?
