Tens of thousands of New York City families would lose their child care vouchers under the state’s proposed budget — a move that advocates say would leave parents unable to work and force day care centers to close their doors. Lawmakers in Albany, city officials and child care advocates are furiously working to avoid the fiscal cliff that could kick 4,000 to 7,000 families out of the program every month when they are not able to renew their vouchers. The final budget is due Tuesday, April 1. “We are at a really pivotal moment,” said Dede Hill, policy director at Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy . “It is essential that New York state leaders act to ensure they do not pull the rug out from under families who have built their family budget around child care assistance and programs who have built their business budgets around the Child Care Assistance Program .” Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed executive budget leaves funding flat at $1.8 billion – with more than half that funding going to families in the five boroughs. But advocates say the child care assistance program needs another $900 million to ensure parents who have vouchers can keep them, and to cover thousands more children expected to need the subsidy this year. Child care costs have been at the center of affordability conversations across the state as reports show most families cannot afford the cost of care and are fleeing the city and state because of it . Mansie Meikle, who relies on a voucher for after-school care, said the vouchers have been a lifeline. “I can actually work, not wondering how I’m going to get the kids,” Meikle said. “This is stressing me out just the idea of losing access to that. It’s right back at square one.”…
In 2023, Tammy Antunes and her husband turned to New Jersey’s affordable housing program in the hope of finding a home that is both big enough to raise children and that was within a manageable commute to their jobs in North Jersey. Antunes works as a nanny. Her husband is a truck driver, and their combined income of $80,000 wasn’t enough to buy or even rent at market rate in the state’s pricey housing market. But more than two years and nearly two dozen separate housing applications later, the couple is still searching. “I feel very frustrated,” Antunes said. “We're trying to build a family.” New Jersey has one of the country’s most comprehensive strategies for building affordable housing. Gov. Phil Murphy said the state has built 400,000 affordably priced housing units over the past 50 years and it’s currently embarking on an effort to add over 80,000 more new homes for low- and middle-income residents over the next decade. And yet, even the program’s most ardent supporters admit that the process for actually securing one of those homes is both long and confusing — a problem made worse by the fact that demand for affordable units is quickly outstripping supply. What the state lacks is a centralized platform where applicants can get all the information they need to secure an apartment, housing experts say. And many are calling on lawmakers to pass pending legislation that aims to streamline the process.…
What do Carole King, Judge Judy and Chris Rock have in common? They all went to James Madison High School in Midwood, Brooklyn. James Madison opened in 1925 and is a typical-looking New York City public school with an astonishing number of famous alumni, including Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Stanley Kaplan (founder of test prep company Kaplan, Inc.), former U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, baseball player Ted Schreiber, writer Irwin Shaw and six Nobel Prize winners, to name just a few of the faces on the school’s Wall of Distinction. (It’s actually multiple walls; there are so many stars to note.) From 2007 to 2009, three sitting U.S. senators were all Madison graduates (Sanders, Schumer and Coleman).…
It’s a Friday night and people are lining the block of a bodega near Union Square at the corner of 14th Street and Seventh Avenue. But the line isn’t for bacon-egg-and-cheeses or packs of cigarettes — it’s full of die-hard comedy fans. Some regulars greet each other like old friends. Others, first-timers, nervously shuffle into the transformed space with bated breath, ready to partake in the madness. Bodega Comedy has been hosting twice-monthly shows at bodegas in Brooklyn and Manhattan for nearly two years. Footage from its shows has routinely gone viral online, and on some nights, tickets are sold out days in advance.…

He also lives across the street from a fire station in Brooklyn. He joined WNYC's Michael Hill to talk about why it might be time to rethink the frequency with which sirens are used.…

1 A state lawmaker is calling for more regulations on tour helicopter flights after a fatal crash in the Hudson River
The National Transportation Safety Board is on the ground in New Jersey, trying to figure out why a tour helicopter fell apart in the sky and crashed into the Hudson River yesterday afternoon. The crash killed the pilot and a family of five who were visiting from Spain. The tragedy is renewing concerns over the number of helicopters in New York City airspace. Some elected officials, like Nicole Malliotakis who represents Staten Island in Congress, say that more regulations are needed. Malliotakis is also leaving the door open to ending tour chopper flights. Others, like the advocacy group Stop the Chop and New York State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal are saying just ban them now. Senator Hoylman-Sigal talks with WNYC's Tiffany Hanssen to talk more about helicopter regulations.…

April is National Poetry Month. This past week on WNYC Morning Edition, we've asked for your poems on the theme of "history" inspired by historical happenings, real or imagined. Amy Penwell is a school library media specialist at Riverton School in New Jersey. Her third grade students recently participated in an online poetry workshop with Kate Messner, author of the popular "Ranger in Time" kids books and "History Smashers" graphic novel series. Penwell joined WNYC host Michael Hill to share how getting kids into poetry doesn't have to be an impossible task. Below is a poem submitted to Penwell by third grader, June Donnelly, and another from listener Michele Herman of Manhattan. The Mountains of Zion by June Donnelly The chocolatey muffin starts the day The Rocky Mountains of Zion Drippy slippery, tick spray slipping down my leg. A high fall from the mountain, never to happen. Clickety! Clack! the horses go Buttery and creamy chocolate muffin Muddy trail from the rain outside the air smells like the cold winter Hot burning sun that the wind cools down Independence Day By Michele Herman After hot dogs and fireworks to celebrate being free, every year I turn on the TV. I’m a sucker for “1776” – I say I’m going to bed, hand on the remote, and then see it through to the final vote. I always side with Adams and Franklin, of course, and that goofball Lee on his horse, the bad guys being fops in pastels, male Southern belles desperate to preserve a way of life they don’t deserve. and I look down at myself, always cotton clad, and remember that someone far away is being had to make my clothes from a cotton mill, which is why I began to buy from Goodwill.…
