WAMC's Dr. Alan Chartock discusses New York state leaders' plans to codify Roe v. Wade into state law, and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposal for a commission to review universal health care. He also comments on the government shutdown, which has reportedly cost the American economy almost as much as the $5.7 billion President Trump demands for a southern border wall.
Dr. Alan Chartock is professor emeritus at the University at Albany. He hosts the weekly Capitol Connection series, heard on public radio stations around New York. The program, for almost 12 years, highlighted interviews with Governor Mario Cuomo and now continues with conversations with state political leaders. Dr. Chartock also appears each week on The Media Project and The Roundtable and offers commentary on Morning Edition, weekdays at 7:40 a.m.
