Dozens of workers arrested in historic NYCHA corruption scandal

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we have the latest details after the federal government busted dozens of NYCHA workers on Tuesday. A total of 70 NYCHA employees were charged in the largest single-day bribery takedown in the history of the Department of Justice. The allegations involve nearly one-third of NYCHA's 2,400 buildings in New York. The workers are accused of taking $2 million in kickbacks from contractors. The U.S. Attorney's Office calls it a "classic pay to play." Eyewitness News reporter Kemberly Richardson has the story from Lower Manhattan. Meanwhile, food insecurity in New York City continues to be a growing problem. Food banks nationwide are struggling to meet the need for food assistance.    Economic challenges forced food banks to cut back on services as inflation caused prices to climb for many food items. In our area, food centers that already see high demand now face an additional concern: the growing number of migrants in need. For this week's edition of Tiempo, we spoke to Leslie Gordon, the president and CEO of The Food Bank for New York City, the largest hunger-relief organization in the five boroughs.
