Description
It won’t just be candidates on the ballot this November. WNYC’s Brigid Bergin reports on growing support for a new ballot initiative called the New York Equal Rights Amendment. Meanwhile, it’s expected to be windy and rainy on Saturday, but the MTA says they’re ready to address all transit issues. Also, attorneys from LatinoJustice, a nonprofit civil rights law firm, are asking the state’s highest court to weigh in on New York City’s non-citizen voting law. Finally, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez has once again been charged with federal corruption. The primary election to replace him is the first competitive senate race the state has seen in decades. Governor Phil Murphy's wife, Tammy Murphy, is running for the seat. However, the central issue in Murphy’s race against Congress member Andy Kim is not nepotism; instead, it’s focused on an obscure feature of New Jersey’s election ballots. WNYC’s Michael Hill speaks with reporter Nancy Solomon for the latest.
