NYC NOW

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won’t appear on New York’s presidential ballot after the state’s top court declined to hear his appeal. Meanwhile, construction has begun on a new mile-and-a-half bike lane in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, one of several planned across the city. Plus, September has been tough month for New York City Mayor Eric Adams, with federal agents raiding the homes of some of his appointed officials in what appears to be separate investigations. WNYC’s Brigid Bergin breaks it all down. Finally, to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we look at the law enforcement officers who have died from 9/11-related illnesses. WNYC’s Michael Hill speaks with Dr. Iris Udasin, medical director of the World Trade Center Health Program at Rutgers University, and former Secret Service member and first responder Michael Vaiani, to discuss the long-term health impacts 9/11 survivors are facing and efforts to get them the care they need.
