A Prosecutor Turned Assemblyman

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 8, 2015

As a former prosecutor, Todd Kaminsky helped convict State Senate majority leader Pedro Espada and Congressman Michael Grimm. 

Now, Assemblyman Todd Kaminsky (D-20) is in Albany representing the south shore of Long Island as the capital is beset by public corruption scandals. He talks about his first few weeks in office, Sheldon Silver's case, and his position on a newly-formed ethics committee.
