    Feb 1 WGRZ TV

    On a special news program that aired Sunday, Feb. 1 after the Super Bowl, WGRZ TV (the Buffalo NBC affiliate) aired a 6-minute story on Professor Seymour Lachman’s book, “Three Men in a Room,” which pulled the covers on the way virtually everything in New York state government is controlled by the top three men in Albany: the governor, the speaker of the assembly, and the senate majority leader. You’ll find the print story, and a link to the video clip, on the Wagner Web site. The reporter, Scott Brown, was especially well-suited to cover the story; starting in 1998, he spent three years as Attorney General Elliot Spitzer’s press representative in Albany.
