Eyes are still on New Jersey as thousands of faculty members are on strike for a second day at Rutgers University. WNYC’s Karen Yi speaks with some of the students who have now joined their professors on the picket line. Also, WNYC’s Albany reporter Jon Campbell speaks with host Sean Carlson about Governor Kathy Hochul’s pick for the state’s top judge…again. Originally the governor nominated Hector LaSalle to become chief judge of the Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court. But the Senate’s Democratic majority rejected LaSalle after concern about his judicial record. Now, Hochul is trying again, this time with Rowan Wilson. If confirmed, Wilson’s appointment could end months of Democratic infighting over Hochul’s previous selection.
