Justice Debated
The Andrew Cuomo campaign emphasizes social justice, racial justice and the environment. Jeanine Pirro’s campaign is focused on sexual violence and other public safety issues. We’ll play highlights from their New York State Attorney General debate and ask what kind of A.G. each of them would make. Plus, a writer’s story of facing a life-altering trauma and Issue 16 in our election series “30 Issues in 30 Days” – is it time to raise the minimum wage? And Monday Morning Politics.
