Staten Island Pushes for Road Repairs, SNAP Requirements Expand, and an Interview with Justin Sanchez

Staten Island residents push for more road paving repairs. WFUV’s Anne Jackson has more. Requirements to qualify for SNAP were expanded by the Trump administration, and New Yorkers are now seeing the impacts. New city data shows 22,000 New Yorkers lost their SNAP Benefits last month. WFUV’s Lainey Nguyen has more on the new impacts. Fordham Conversations is a series that spotlights voices from Fordham University and the work of students, professional staff, and alumni. For our series, WFUV’s Sonia Weliwitigoda spoke with Justin Sanchez, a City Council Member representing District 17 in the South Bronx, who is also pursuing his law degree at Fordham, about how he’s incorporated the Fordham mission into his council work.
