Morning Headlines: NYC Decriminalizes Street Vending, New Jersey Expands Film Tax Credits, and Catalytic Converter Thefts Drop in the City

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

The New York City Council has passed a bill eliminating misdemeanor charges and potential jail time for street vendors who violate city laws. In New Jersey, Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation to expand the state’s film tax credit program, reserving $250 million in incentives for productions that choose the Garden State over Hollywood. Meanwhile, the NYPD reports a steep decline in catalytic converter thefts across the city over the past three years. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
