Hello from the other side! 👋After working there for 29 years 👵, @WNYC laid me off 🪓 I wasn’t alone. So, so many talented hosts, producers and editors were laid off, too! It was fun while it lasted! Send cat pics. (And job offers.)

Despite New York Public radio's announcement that it is planning to lay off 12% of staff next week, the NYPR union is still fighting to save the jobs of as many valued colleagues as possible. Layoffs are not the only -- or smartest -- way to handle financial shortfalls. THREAD

I've reported on NJ for 10 yrs but never spent time w/ farmworkers, mostly migrants, who fuel the state's $1B agriculture biz. My last dispatch for the NJ desk: a deep dive w/ @MSolDub into how climate change threatens worker health @WNYC @NJSpotlightNews gothamist.com/news/they-pick…

They pick your fruit and veggies, but NJ doesn’t protect farm workers from rising heat

Farm workers form the backbone of New Jersey’s $1 billion agriculture industry but climate change is putting their health at risk.

New stuff. Speaker Heastie tells me the reason he didn’t bring Sammy’s Law, the bill to allow NYC to lower the speed limit itself, boiled down to 2 unrelated gripes from Assembly members: e-bikes and speed bumps. Read on…gothamist.com/news/im-not-a-…

'I'm not a dictator': Assembly speaker reveals why NYC speed limit bill failed

The Assembly speaker said concerns from local assemblymembers about speed bumps and e-bikes spelled an end for the bill in this month’s legislative session.
