Interview with PEP member Tom Sheppard, Part II

Arthur and I discuss congestion pricing, and drug prices. I actually think what I wrote about congestion pricing was clearer. The point I make here, inelegantly, is that of all the things to go after Mulgrew for, this is not one of them. And the drug price stuff is a big deal – Arthur thinks we covered it – but it is a huge topic (involving large costs, and mega-profits).

The highlight is part II of the interview with Tom Sheppard, Bronx parent and PEP member. Starts about halfway through. Tom takes down mayoral control, school closures, and disparate impacts on communities of color. He also tells us about his big upcoming project.

Here’s Part I of the interview with Tom, if you missed it.
