Halt Solitary, Freedom of Information, NY Health

With less than 2 weeks left before the Governor and State Legislature are due to agree on the state budget, advocacy groups were out in full force at the State Capitol pitching their causes. We covered three events, all occurring at 11 AM. We talk with Jerome Wright Co-Director of the Halt Solitary campaign in the 2nd floor war room; Rachel Fauss of Reinvent Albany who was part of a coalition on the fourth floor outside the Senate Gallery calling to overhaul the state’s Freedom of Information laws; and Dr. Oliver Fein of Physicians for a National Health Program with the NY Health Campaign on the Million Dollar Staircase on the third floor.
