We are lucky enough to have with us tonight, former NYS Senator, Seymour Lachman, author of the book, Three Men In A Room.
We'll begin our talk at 6:30 PM, but I'm encouraging everyone to take a peek at this video of part of an interview we shot with Sen. Lachman in mid-January.
Note: This is largely a repost from yesterday. It got lost in the special election shuffle and with all the talk about potential party switchers in the wake of Joe Bruno's party crushing defeat on Long Island, I think this is worth bringing up again.
Former state Senator Seymour P. Lachman has written a book about his experiences in New York state government called Three Men in a Room: The Inside Story of Power and Betrayal in an American Statehouse that we will be discussing with him next Monday for the first edition of Book Club. We spoke with Senator Lachman a couple of weeks ago and will be posting clips of our interview all week.
In this clip Senator Lachman describes a meeting in Joe Bruno's office and a phone call from George Pataki. The governor offers him loads of member item dollars and "the best district in the city. You'll never be challenged."
I think it can be useful to hear from someone who has actually been approached by the other side as we contemplate the possibility that something similar may be happening right now.
Due to a last minute unavoidable change in Senator Lachman's schedule, we are going to postpone the Book Club Event.
We will not be meeting here to discuss "Three Men In A Room" this Monday evening. We are rescheduling this event for Monday evening, February 12 at 6:30 PM.
We have interviewed the Senator on tape and we will be airing portions of that interview during the next two weeks.
Be sure to grab a copy of the book and give it a read. The man knows his stuff and it will be a great time to really get into what is wrong with Albany...and how we can fix it.
