Grant Reeher, professor of political science and director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute in the Maxwell School, was interviewed for the Empire State Weekly news program “Privacy vs. public safety.” The segment addressed the fallout of Lieutenant Governor Brian Benjamin, who resigned after being indicted on federal bribery charges. Reeher, who studies legislative politics and American political theory, explained that the consequences of the Hochul administration’s lack of oversight when first selecting a Lieutenant Governor will become a hurdle for the Governor during the upcoming June primaries in New York State.
