Kicked off a new season of "BronxLegal" with a candid discussion on Wage and Hour Law. Thank you to both our guests, Haeyoung Yoon Esq. and Luis Acencion for the lively debate. The ideal of requiring a living wage, a salary paid to workers that's higher than the mandated minimum wage, has been a contentious topic here in the Bronx. Just one of the issues on tonight's show.

Today on "Open" I began a new legal series: Criminal Law. Today's topic: Navigating the Traffic Violations Bureau. Although you can make an argument that a traffic violation is just that, a violation, not a crime. In any event, the court is unlike any other traffic court in the state so you should try to learn your way around if you intend on beating that "speeding ticket". David Lesch

This morning I finished the Landlord/Tenant series with a an interesting debate: Is the Process by which the Rent Guidelines Board determines increases in rent a fair one? Many do not believe so, but I wanted the community to see both sides. On to my next series: Criminal Law. See you in two weeks. David Lesch

It had been awhile since I hosted "Open". I was glad to do it. We had some wonderful guests on the morning show. And, I was able to continue discussing Landlord/Tenant rights, specifically, fighting rental housing discrimination. I made sure the viewers know their rights, and understand how to file a complaint. The type of rental discrimination I see the most: discrimination based on disablity. Don't put up with it! David Lesch
