Bills are piling up on Governor Kathy Hochul’s desk, and lawyers faced off in Albany to talk about how President Donald Trump has appointed federal prosecutors. WAMC’s Andrew Waite and Jimmy Vielkind, of the New York Public News Network, discussed these stories and more in their weekly conversation.

Andrew Waite has worked as The Daily Gazette’s featured news columnist, an editor at Alaska Airlines magazine, and in community newspapers in Montana and Alaska. He is a graduate of Albany High School and Boston University’s journalism school, and he returned to the Capital Region with his wife, daughter and son in 2021.
