Morning Headlines: Policy Experts Split on Proposed NYC Minimum Wage Hikes, Overcrowding Worsens in Juvenile Detention, and City Council Weighs Future of Hart Island
New York City’s next mayor could decide whether to dramatically raise the minimum wage. Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani wants to double it to $30 an hour, while independent candidate Andrew Cuomo proposes $20. Policy experts are divided on how the increases would affect workers and businesses. Meanwhile, overcrowding is worsening in the city’s juvenile detention centers, with some teens reportedly sleeping in classrooms and common areas. And the City Council is holding hearings this week on the future of Hart Island, New York’s public cemetery, which could reach capacity by 2030
