City Council bill proposes to extend beach, pool access beyond summer in NYC

NEW YORK (PIX11) – A proposed City Council bill would make the beach and pool season longer in New York City.

The season would extend to the second Sunday in October and start on the second Saturday in May. It would provide an extra two months of pool and beach access with a lifeguard.

The season currently begins each year on Memorial Day weekend and ends the Sunday after Labor Day.

The Parks Department has already signaled that an extended season would be unlikely as it grapples with a lifeguard shortage, according to reporting from the New York Post.

Chinese EV makers, and their connected vehicles, targeted by new House bill
Chinese EV manufacturers face a new challenge in their pursuit of U.S. customers: a new House bill that would limit or ban the introduction of their connected vehicles. The bill, introduced by U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, comes as the trade war between the U.S. and China heightens in the aftermath of the Biden administration’s decision to quadruple import duties on Chinese electric vehicles to 100%. The bill’s goal appears to curb manufacturers before they can flood the American market with smart, cheap cars.
