Today on "The Capitol Pressroom":

President Obama has tapped Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to head up its official task force investigating misconduct in the banking industry that lead to the financial collapse on Wall Street. The AG joins us today to talk about the pros and cons of his new role, and we might throw a question his way about Danny Hakim’s article in the Times about Ben Lawsky.

Speaker Sheldon Silver has thrown his considerable political weight behind an increase in the minimum wage. The Speaker will be my guest to discuss the dueling political narratives which inevitably surround raising the minimum wage, and New York’s history of combating poverty.

And then we’ll be joined by a few people who are P.O.’d about redistricting: The first you've heard from before -- Senator Mike Gianaris D – Astoria is now warning that any deal the Senate is pushing for a constitutional amendment would create a lose-lose situation for the State of the New York.

And here’s one of the stories to come out of the Assembly’s redistricting efforts: Assemblyman Pete Lopez R - Schoharie just spent five months rebuilding the entire Village of Schoharie which was destroyed by Tropical Storm Irene. If the new maps are adopted, the Village, where Lopez & his family live, will fall under Assemblymember Claudia Tenney’s jurisdiction. Tenney, R – Sylvan Beach, currently represents parts of Oswego and Oneida Counties. She testified at Monday’s LATFOR hearing in Albany that if the new maps are approved, her district would extend from Oneida County to the border of Connecticut – it would include parts of the following districts: Oneida, Otsego, Herkimer, Schoharie, Albany, Greene & Columbia.
