The persuaders name is Richard. We regret the error, see more below. In the first half of the program we talk to a NOLA nurse about their negotiations with UMC, and we have a panel of officers from TVA unions to talk about the possibility of the Trump administration privatizing the TVA.We regret identifying the incorrect Mr. Michel.
