“This American Life” focuses on Lt. Gov. Richard Ravitch

Sunday’s episode of This American Life will feature an in-depth look at New York’s Lieutenant Governor Richard Ravitch.

Ravitch is the “Mr. Fixit” of the Empire State’s political/money problems. He’s credited with “saving” New York City when the MTA was teetering on bankruptcy.

Listen to the promo. It ends with this question:

“Have politics gotten so messed up we just can’t solve our problems?”
