L. Joy Williams, President of the Brooklyn National Association for the Advanced of Colored People (NAACP), and creator and host of "Sunday Civics" podcast, talks about a new bill proposed by NYC Council to put a temporary cap on for-hire vehicles in New York City and the impact that the limit has for New Yorkers. And Brad Lander, Brooklyn City Council member (D-39 -- Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Columbia Waterfront, Gowanus, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Borough Park, Kensington), argues in favor of the City Council's proposal, and talks about legislation he proposed to establish a standard base pay for contract drivers of $17.22 an hour.
