From New York, the greatest city in the world, and where our key lime pie is second to none, it's The update with Brandon Julien! Finding affordable housing in the city is tough, especially if you're a tenant in a NYCHA building. But today, those tenants were given a major victory.
Some stories talked about on tonight's show were:
1. New York City will likely pay $2 billion to settle claims that the nation's largest public housing agency has too often left tenants to contend with lead paint, malfunctioning elevators and rats.
2. The first debate between incumbent U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan and challenger Michael Grimm, who formerly held the seat, was heated and at times harsh.
3. Craigslist founder Craig Newmark is donating $20 million to the City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism. The institution will be renamed the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York.
