State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who has held that position for the last 20 years, was arrested recently and charged with several counts of corruption. He's also accused of taking more that $4 million in kickbacks.
After several days of closed door meetings, Silver agreed to step down from his position as Speaker. An election will happen soon in the Assembly to choose a new Speaker, but what happens then.
This week, Grant Reeher speaks with WRVO's Capitol Correspondent Karen DeWitt, about the corruption scandal that brought down Silver, the upstate/downstate divide when it comes to corruption in state government, Gov. Andrew Cuomo's leadership style and much more.
