Hi, Brian Lairer here.

Up next, Brian Lairor Weekend,

three of our favorite segments from the week,

packaged together for you to listen to on the weekend.

So enjoy, and I'll see you back on the radio Monday at 10 a.m.

on WNYC and WNYC. Good morning, everyone.

We'll begin today with a service for voters in New York State, and the rest of you may find

this interesting too.

There's a measure on the ballot statewide called Proposition 1, which proponents call the

New York State Equal Rights Amendment.

A lot of people thought in Blue New York that this would sail through to protect women's

rights generally and abortion rights in particular in the

post-row post-dob's decision era, right? But recent reporting by the New York Times and Politico and

others indicates that Prop 1 might be in trouble. There is a very organized opposition

claiming things like Prop 1 would guarantee that boys could play in girls sports leagues,

that it would enable undocumented migrants to remain in the country, and it would put senior

discounts and other senior specific services at risk because it bans age discrimination.

Younger people could say they're being discriminated against.

The opponents are also reported to be better organized than the supporters and better so far at getting their word out.

Again, Prop 1 is statewide.

There are also four other ballot questions just for voters in New York City.

These mostly have to do with a power struggle between Mayor Adams and City Council.
