We talk about the Rent Guidelines Board which meets today, June 21, to vote on how high rents will be allowed to go up this year and next for New York’s nearly 1 million rent-stabilized apartments. Tenants are urging the RGB to scrap proposed rent hikes of as much as 7% and freeze rents or even roll them back.

Then, we will get an update on the just-completed state legislative session in Albany from democratic socialist State Senator Kristin Gonzalez. We talk about the Build Public Renewables Act, the New York Power Authority, the failure to pass Good Cause Eviction and more.

In the last segment of the show, we speak with John Teufel, the author of the cover story in this month’s Indypendent that takes a look at the completely broken process for how the NYPD disciplines, or not, officers accused of serious misconduct. John has followed the NYPD closely over the past 20 years; we also talk about the surprise resignation last week of Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell.
