Midday News: Costs Rise for NYC Affordable Housing, Sugar Warnings Take Effect, and New Jersey Governor’s Race Tightens

A new report finds expenses are climbing sharply for owners of low-income apartments across New York City even as rising rents and affordability dominate the mayor’s race. Meanwhile, chain restaurants are beginning to post new labels warning customers about high-sugar items under new city health rules.  Also, a  jury has convicted one former correction officer and acquitted two others in the 2024 killing of prisoner Robert Brooks at Marcy Correctional Facility. Plus, with two weeks until Election Day, New Jersey’s race for governor between Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill remains neck and neck. Historian Kristoffer Shields, director of the Eagleton Center on the American Governor at Rutgers University, joins us for this week’s Campaign Catch Up. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
