About this episode
Some local policy advocates are warning that proposed changes to SNAP, the federal program that helps nearly two million New York City residents afford groceries, could limit its effectiveness. Meanwhile, a Vietnam veteran wrongfully imprisoned for nearly eight years for a rape he didn’t commit is suing Westchester County and the town of Greenburgh. WNYC’s Samantha Max reports. Plus, New York City sanitation officials say weekly compost pickup is now available citywide, with landlords required to provide bins for food scraps. But how many residents are actually using them? WNYC’s Liam Quigley has more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
