Evening Roundup: Jersey City Schools Propose Cell Phone Ban, Gov. Hochul Expands Vaccination Authority, Community Responds to Labor Day Violence, and Summer Produce Phases Out but Not Cucumbers

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

Jersey City school officials are considering following the lead of their neighbors across Hudson and banning phones in schools. Plus, Gov. Kathy Hochul is declaring a health emergency to help New Yorkers get COVID vaccines. Also, we share what elected officials and other leaders in Brooklyn are saying in the days since six people were shot after the West Indian Day festivities. And finally, as summer comes to an end and farmstands switch produce, there's still plenty of cucumbers at farmstands across the city. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
