Publisher Walter Mullen and editor Emily Sachar begin by reviewing two significant Red Hook sewer infrastructure projects, analyzing their budgets, financing sources, and expected effects on area residents and businesses. They review how properties will connect to the new sewer infrastructure and what this means for future community growth, particularly affordable housing development. They also discuss the challenges of municipal decision-making and securing funds for public works projects. They end with Walter's analysis of how the potential defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting could affect local journalism, along with an update on the Daily Catch's own financial structure and fundraising initiatives.

Produced by Emily Sachar, Walter Mullin, Matty Rosenberg, and Jennifer Hammoud at the Radio Free Rhinecilff studio
