New York Attorney General Letitia James and New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Plakin are among 21 attorneys general opposing the Trump administration’s federal worker buyout plan, warning it could disrupt essential services like veteran healthcare and child care. Meanwhile, a massive sinkhole has shut down all eastbound lanes of I-80 in Wharton, NJ, marking the second such collapse at the same exit in recent months. Also, New York City is extending alternate side parking suspensions through Tuesday for snow removal.
