from NYC NOW · host WNYC

The NYPD and members of the City Council are sparring over a bill that would ban police from using a tracker to monitor gang members. Plus, city leaders demonstrate new technology that will help defend Manhattan’s Two Bridges neighborhood against rising sea levels. Also, Attorney General Letitia James goes after e-cigarette companies for violating New York’s ban on flavored vapes and contributing to a youth vaping “public health crisis.” And finally, a church volunteer oversees a food pantry that has become an important community resource.
