WSHU's J.D. Allen tours the Carmans River in Yaphank, N.Y. with Long Island water quality advocate Kevin McAllister.

New York advocates want more money for the state’s Clean Water Infrastructure Act, after the governor suggests slashing funds in half. Connecticut republicans provide an alternative to an EV mandate in the state. And there’s bipartisan interest in banning legacy preferences at Connecticut colleges and universities.

Sabrina is host and producer of WSHU’s daily podcast After All Things. She also produces the climate podcast Higher Ground and other long-form news and music programs at the station. Sabrina spent two years as a WSHU fellow, working as a reporter and assisting with production of The Full Story.
