Jordana Miller and Crissy Kantor: Manchester City Budget and Iranian Conflict
Jordana Miller and Crissy Kantor: Manchester City Budget and Iranian Conflict

We had two breaking news interviews between 8:00 am and 8:30 am. First, from Manchester Alderwoman Kantor and ABC Reporter Jordana Miller from Israel.

We started the segment by speaking with Manchester Alderman Crissy Kantor about the looming deadline for the Manchester City Budget. The current budget favored by the majority of the Manchester Aldermen would ignore the Manchester-mandated tax cap by approximately 12%.

Aldermen Crissy Kantor (Ward 6) and Ed Sapienza (Ward 8) oppose this budget and have offered a budget that respects the tax cap. A meeting and potential vote are scheduled for June 9th.

In the middle of our initial conversation, ABC reporter Jordana Miller joins from Jerusalem, Israel, to provide an update on the Iranian and Hezbollah attacks on Israel, and Israel’s response.
