NightSide News Update. We kick off the program with four news stories and different guests on the stories we think you need to know about! For one of our segments this evening we discuss the 4th Annual Rally 4 Nally Polar Plunge that helps raise awareness and support for ALS.
Congestion Pricing! New York Governor Kathy Hochul has restarted the controversial congestion pricing program for New York City, with some new adjustments. Under the original plan, commuters would be charged $15 to enter Manhattan's Congestion Relief Zone during peak hours. Hochul dropped the congestion tax to $9 per car during peak hours. What’s the likelihood Boston takes up congestion pricing? What are the pros and cons?
The “HALO” Law. Florida has a new law that just went into effect called the “HALO” law, “Honoring and Listening to Our Officers.” The law creates a 25-foot buffer zone around first responders. If a first responder asks you to back off during the course of their duties and you fail to do so, you could face a second-degree misdemeanor charge punishable by up to 60 days in jail or a $500 fine. Are you in favor or opposed to this law? Do you think a similar law should be enacted in Massachusetts?
20th Hour: New Year’s Resolutions. For the last broadcast hour of NightSide this week, Dan asks you if you’ve made any New Year’s resolutions and if so, have you kept them so far or already broken them?
