About this episode
Get up and get informed! Here's all the local news you need to start your day: New data shows New York City’s B-HEARD program routed nearly 15,000 mental health calls to social workers and EMTs in 2023 but responded to only 30% of calls in areas where it operates. Meanwhile, the city’s top health official, Ashwin Vasan, says he will step down by early next year. Plus, the MTA reports a 4.6% increase in bus fare payments in areas targeted by law enforcement in its latest crackdown on fare evasion. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
