The Brian Lehrer Show

Governors Galore

Wednesday, January 10, 2007

After Governor Corzine’s State of the State address we’ll ask what do New Jerseyans get for their property taxes? Would they live with fewer services for fewer dollars? Or do they want the state to pick up more of the tab? Also, outgoing Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, now considering a run at the Republican presidential nomination and New Jersey’s Governor-for-a-day, Kris Kolluri. Plus, ABC News' Mark Halperin previews the President's speech.
