First hour: Republican Congressional candidate Mark Assini
Second hour: Ethics reform and ending "three men in a room"
Which presidential candidate do Republican Congressional candidates want at the top of the ticket? We'll find out when we sit down with Gates town supervisor Mark Assini, the Republican who is once again challenging longtime Democratic Congresswoman Louise Slaughter. Earlier this winter, we sat down with Slaughter. Now we'll talk to Assini about how he intends to win a race that won't be nearly so under-the-radar this time around.
In our second hour: Governor Cuomo has been in a spat over ethics reform. Cuomo says he's made it clear that he wants further reforms; pro-reform groups want more than lip service. In fact, they want to end "three men in a room" once and for all. Can it happen? Our guests:
- Blair Horner, legislative director at NYPIRG
- Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, 131st district
- Katherine Smith, vice president of the League of Women Voters, Rochester Metropolitan Area
