Midday News: New York City Beaches Remain Closed, Rat Sightings Are Declining, and Why Childcare Is Increasingly Unaffordable

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

New York City beaches will remain closed for swimming Wednesday and Thursday as Hurricane Erin generates dangerous rip currents. Plus, Mayor Adams says rat sightings in New York City have declined for eight straight months. And finally, childcare is becoming increasingly unaffordable for families. That’s why more parents in New Jersey and New York are relying on subsidized vouchers to help pay for it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
