CNN's Bryn Mawr connection
With the stock-market's volatility and increased fears about the economy, at least one person is getting more work: CNN's Ali Velshi. The Bryn Mawr resident hosts "American Morning" and a weekend show called "Your Money" on the cable-news network and has been handling more broadcasts talking finance.
Velshi was raised in Toronto but several years ago married Main Line hedge-fund manager Lori Wachs, a Wharton grad, and now lives in Bryn Mawr but also keeps places in New York and Atlanta to be closer to work.
"Government has to provide stimulus to create jobs. Tax cuts, infrastructure projects like natural gas. Something that retrains Americans into skilled jobs," he said, as to how to fix the economy, and then laughed that Jon Stewart had recently called him a socialist for sharing those views on "The Daily Show."
