from NYC NOW · host WNYC

The nonprofit that operates New York City’s 988 suicide and crisis hotline says it may have to lay off staff due to a funding shortfall. Meanwhile, former Congressman George Santos is set to be sentenced Friday after pleading guilty to multiple federal charges. Also, the Mets are riding a seven-game winning streak and hold the best record in Major League Baseball. Plus, in this week’s transportation segment, a misstep by federal prosecutors may weaken their legal case against the MTA’s congestion pricing plan. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
