The Hochul administration warns that federal Medicaid cuts could hit the Bronx especially hard, threatening both health coverage and jobs in the borough. Meanwhile, in honor of Disability Pride Month, the Andrew Heiskell Library, New York City’s only braille and talking book library, is rolling out new electronic Braille readers.

She says she was not participating in the demonstration.
