Essex County farmers, paid pre-natal leave, Jessica Laurel Kane Northern Light

The new state budget includes the first-ever paid prenatal leave policy in the country. Now, New Yorkers will get 20 hours of paid sick leave for health appointments during pregnancy. That's in addition to their regular parental leave; we'll hear how Essex County is helping farmers manage their land sustainably; also, a conversation with Adirondack children's author and illustrator Jessica Kane. She has two new books out and will join us for a celebration of reading and children's books this Saturday at the Massena Public Library.
