By host Tom Ashbrook:
Steps and half-steps were taken this week in the news. Immigration hasn’t moved, but the Senate passed an energy bill last night. Yes, it calls for higher mileage cars for the first time in decades, and a lot more ethanol. No, it doesn’t tax oil companies to boost wind and solar energy.
In New York, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is out of the GOP but not into the presidential race — yet. There is White House talk of closing Guantanamo. It was a rough week for Giuliani. Hillary’s got a theme song. Walmart’s got a bank.
