NYC Summer Crime Numbers; 51 Councilmembers in 52 Weeks: District 36, Chi Ossé; CA Plan to Ban Gas-Powered Car Sales; Why You've Left Your Job in Healthcare
The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 7, 2022
Coming up on today's show:
- In the latest crime stats released by the NYPD for the summer months, murders were down while other major crimes were up. Harry Siegel, FAQ NYC creator and co-host, Daily News columnist and editor at The City, talks about how crime -- both perceived and real -- is affecting New Yorkers.
- The majority of the New York City Council members are new and are part of a class that is the most diverse and progressive in city history. This year Brian Lehrer will get to know all 51 members. Today, Councilmember Chi Ossé, talks about his priorities for district 36, which includes Bedford Stuyvesant and northern Crown Heights.
- Dan Gearino, reporter covering clean energy and the Midwest for Inside Climate News, discusses California's move to phase out the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035, which other states now look to emulate.
- All week, the Brian Lehrer Show checks in with jobs where workers are in short supply. Today, doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers who have recently quit their profession share what factors led them to make that decision.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
