Midday News: President Trump's Order Targets Bail Reform Funding, Fans Face High Prices at US Open, and DiNapoli Faces Primary Challenge for Comptroller

from NYC NOW · host Janae Pierre, Jimmy Vielkind, Michael Hill

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that could withhold federal resources from states with cashless bail policies, potentially affecting billions in funding for New York. Meanwhile, fans at the US Open in Flushing are paying steep prices for tickets and concessions, with some ground passes reselling for more than $300. Plus, State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli is seeking a fifth term and faces a Democratic primary challenge from Drew Warshaw, who says the office should do more to address affordability. WNYC’s Jimmy Vielkind joins us to explain. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
