How Anthony Weiner Would End the Cuomo-de Blasio Beef

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 31, 2015

Anthony Weiner, former NY Congressman and Democratic candidate for mayor, who currently works as a part time consultant for New York-based PR firm MWW, discusses his op-ed in The New York Times, in which he suggests how to end the feud between New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo, writing the rift "comes down to the division of responsibility that is enshrined in the Constitution of state. And that is where we should look for a solution."

Joining @BrianLehrer at 10 to talk about 2017. Yep, that's when we vote on a NYS ConCon! Don't worry, Brian will explain.

Diehard @Mets fan @anthonyweiner remembers being asked what would be hardest if he became mayor - "Acting happy at Yankees parades."

Good discussion @BrianLehrer on NY state / city budget dynamics - upstate gets $10b more in taxes than it pays - see work of @ReinventAlbany
