New York City is temporarily ceasing new enrollments for its child care subsidy program due to a financial dispute with Governor Hochul over matching funds. The state's budget includes an additional $350 million, but city officials argue that requiring them to match this amount places an unfair burden on the city. In other news, pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University and Brooklyn College escalated, leading to multiple arrests as authorities intervened. Meanwhile, legislation affecting religious schools has been delayed, and former Governor Cuomo is positioning himself for the mayoral race.
'City officials argue that this requirement shifts the financial burden unfairly.'
'Columbia's Public Safety team requested assistance from the NYPD, who arrested 80 people.'
'Dozens of NYPD officers entered the campus and forcibly cleared a pro-Palestinian student encampment.'
'The postponement allows yeshivas up to seven additional years to change their curricula.'
