Morning Headlines: Medicaid Cuts Could Hit Bronx Hard, Braille Library Launches New E-Readers, and Woman to Sue NYPD Over Crown Heights Protest Mob

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

The Hochul administration warns that federal Medicaid cuts could hit the Bronx especially hard, threatening both health coverage and jobs in the borough. Meanwhile, in honor of Disability Pride Month, the Andrew Heiskell Library, New York City’s only braille and talking book library, is rolling out new electronic Braille readers. And in Brooklyn, a woman has filed notice of intent to sue the city, alleging police failed to intervene when a mob of Orthodox Jewish men surrounded her outside a Crown Heights synagogue after a protest of Israel’s security minister. She says she was not participating in the demonstration. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
