Description
New York grocers say sales have dropped by as much as 25 percent as SNAP delays leave customers without funds, forcing stores to cut orders and mark down perishable goods. Meanwhile, the city’s health commissioner is urging New Yorkers to get flu, COVID and RSV vaccines amid a sharp rise in respiratory illnesses. And the state is investigating how a third party vendor sent a false Bank of America alert to nearly 200,000 text subscribers.
