Midday News: City Council Asks Elections Board to Block Housing Ballot Questions, Gov. Hochul Weighs Bill Requiring Two-Person Subway Crews, and EMS Worker Shortage Lengthens 911 Response Times

City Council leaders have asked the Board of Elections to block three proposed ballot questions that could speed up housing development while limiting Council power. Meanwhile, Governor Kathy Hochul must decide whether to sign a bill requiring two-person crews on subway trains, a move the Transport Workers Union says is critical for safety but the MTA warns could raise costs.

Vice president of the FDNY EMS officers union Anthony Almojera joins us to explain.
