The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 1, 2016

Coming up on today's show:

  • The Democrats are officially in our backyard! If you’ve attended a Sanders or a Clinton rally in New York, call in with your thoughts and observations. And we'll hear what's been happening at the rallies from WNYC's Andrea Bernstein and Brigid Bergin.
  • Jimmy Vielkind, Politico New York's Albany bureau chief, reviews the latest budget details from Albany and what it means for NYC.
  • Get a update on lead testing in local school water supplies and lead paint poisoning, with WNYC's Jenny Ye and Sarah Gonzalez and The Huffington Post's Scilla Alecci.
  • Hear why busing kids into different school districts hasn’t really solved our city’s school segregation problem, with Arizona State University's Matthew Delmont.
