Indian Point Ablaze; Skelos' Replacement

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 12, 2015

Scott Waldman, Capital’s energy reporter in Albany, and Karen DeWitt, Capitol bureau chief for New York State Public Radio, talk about Saturday's blaze at the Indian Point nuclear power plant and discuss Dean Skelos' replacement as leader of the state senate, Long Island's John Flanagan.

Any buzz to shut down #IndianPoint? @scottpwaldman says: NY state has no say in that. It's up to federal government.

.@kdewitt7: Skelos cites media harassment toward his family, not corruption charges, as reason for resignation. Calls it “victim mentality."
