As The Weld Turns

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 31, 2010

In all of history, only one man has ever managed to be elected governor of two US states (Sam Houston - Tennessee and Texas). Now ex-Bay Stater William Weld wants to be the governor of New York, and he’s promising a big tax cut for low and middle-income New Yorkers. Also, Tamar Jacoby talks immigrants, Moikgantsi Kgama finds a homeland for the films of the African Diaspora, healthcare experts discuss the small state with a big plan and two entertainment journalists navigate the turbulence caused by a 9/11 trailer.
