Good morning, lovely people, and welcome to the Thursday edition of the Bronx News Roundup. Here are the Bronx stories we’re following today on the Breaking Bronx blog. Weather: Gorgeous. Sunny, high of 84, nice little breeze, not too humid.

On the heels of FreshDirect’s mega subsidy deal (which isn’t yet a done deal) and pending move to the south Bronx waterfront, another online delivery company, CookiesKids.com, an off-shoot of the Cookies retail store, is asking the Industrial Development Agency for $3.4 million in tax breaks to move its operation from Brooklyn to the south Bronx, just across the street from the FreshDirect site. Though the $3.4 million number pales in comparison to FreshDirect’s $128 million, CookiesKids.com could face increase scrutiny following all the attention given to FreshDirect’s deal. It will mean even more delivery trucks polluting an area with high asthma rates. New full-time employees at CookiesKids.com would make $15,000 a year (no health benefits), while veteran employees would make less than 19,000 per year.

The Riverdale Press says regardless of what you think about FreshDirect’s subsidy package or compounding of asthma problems, the company did the right thing in providing delivery to all of the Bronx zip codes.

A lawsuit against the practice of arresting students in school filed by the NYCLU is pending.

Bloomberg wants to ban the sale of large-sized sugary drinks to combat rising obesity rates.
