Midday News: Mamdani Proposes Mental Health Agency, Advocates Rally Over Cross Bronx Expressway Replacement, and Can We Expect More Earthquakes?

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wants to create a new city agency to handle mental health and violence prevention work currently overseen by the NYPD funded with more than a billion dollars in re-allocated and new money. Meanwhile, environmental justice groups are rallying Monday against Governor Hochul's plan to build a temporary replacement for the Cross Bronx Expressway. Plus, after a series of recent earthquakes in the tri-state area, we turn to fault analyst Alexander Gates to help us understand what's really going on and whether we should be concerned.
