Episode 76: Oklahoma Uprising, Secrets of the NY Fed, Colorado Progressive On the March
Episode 76: Now it's the turn of teachers in Oklahoma to rise up. Jonathan chats with Alicia Priest, the president of the Oklahoma Education Association, and Jennifer Thornton, a third grade teacher in Tulsa, after the state's teachers walked off the job to push for higher pay so they don't have to go to a food pantry to feed their families. Jonathan, then, discusses with EPI's John Bivens how unemployment is tied to a too-secret search for the new head of the Federal Reserve Board of New York, one of the most powerful jobs in the system. Lastly, Jonathan visits with Levi Tilleman, a progressive candidate running for the Democratic nomination in Colorado's 6th Congressional District. Our Robber Barons of the week are Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and her mindlessly, ideologically-dumb, Republican-ruled Legislature.
