from NYC NOW · host WNYC

New data shows life expectancy is rising in New York City, reversing pandemic-era declines. Meanwhile, some Queens residents are pushing to remove fluoride from the city’s drinking water, with Community Board 1 calling on officials to take action. Plus, congestion pricing is once again in limbo after the Trump administration moved to shut it down. Governor Hochul says the tolls are staying for now. WNYC’s Michael Hill speaks with Kathy Wylde, President of the Partnership for New York City, for her reaction. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
