You Already Paid For It!

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 6, 2010

Errol Louis wrapped up his tour as guest host today with a 'super nerd' conversation with Dr. Michael Dolfman of the New York office of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Despite the somewhat dry subject matter, the phones lit up with your calls, proving that some people really do care about the consumer price index.

Dolfman wants you to know: if you paid your taxes, you've already paid for the information his office provides:
web: www.bls.gov (we at the Brian Lehrer Show want that address!)
email: BLSinfoNY@bls.gov
automated information: 212 337-2400
to receive updates by fax: (212) 337-2412

By the way, if you're already a member of WNYC, you can listen to our program every day for free! Become a member.


Errol Louis speaks with Denis Cariello and Seth Gladstone, a young Republican and a young Democrat, respectively.


Errol up close--and personable!
