Coming up on today's show:
- As the New Jersey legislature gets ready to vote on recreational marijuana legalization, New York continues to work on it. WNYC New Jersey reporter Karen Rouse and Amol Sinha, executive director of ACLU New Jersey, talk about how each state is approaching social justice issues like record expungement and who gets a license to sell.
- Ahead of the April 1 deadline, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo talks about key parts of the New York State budget, including criminal justice reform, and other statewide news.
- From calling for the end of the electoral college to universal childcare--Elizabeth Warren has offered up some bold policy proposals. Alyssa Mastromonaco, former assistant to President Obama, and Perry Bacon Jr., senior writer for FiveThirtyEight, tick through Warren's progressive platform, and take calls from supporters and skeptics.
- Sana Goldberg, registered nurse, public health advocate and the author of How to Be a Patient: The Essential Guide to Navigating the World of Modern Medicine (Harper Wave, 2019), offers consumers clear-cut advice on dealing with today's healthcare system.
