| 0:00.0 | It's the Bryan Lair Show on WNYC. Welcome back everybody on that cat's reporter in the WNYC |
| 0:16.5 | newsroom and I'm filling in for Bryan today. Before we keep going on with the show, a little bit |
| 0:22.2 | more breaking news from the Supreme Court. This is from SCOTUS Blog. The Court agrees with the |
| 0:29.2 | states that the Heroes Act does not authorize the debt forgiveness plan. This apparently means that |
| 0:36.4 | the student debt forgiveness program is on ice. We will get into more of that later in the show with |
| 0:43.4 | Ellie Mstahl. They was a 6-3 decision authored by the chief John Roberts. The Court essentially |
| 0:50.8 | struck down the Biden administration debt forgiveness program. Justice Kagan dissented and she was |

| 1:55.6 | We're going to explain what supervisor release is and where it's going with Deanna Logan. So |
| 2:00.8 | ask a question or share your experience. Give us a call at 212-433-WNYC. That's 212-433-9692. |
| 2:10.9 | And now you can also text us at that number 212-433-9692. |
| 2:16.9 | So Deanna, can you first tell us what the mayor's office of criminal justice which you run does? |
