Episode 39: Deadline Headlines
7/11/18 --We’re back post-Fourth of July with a check in on what’s still pending on Beacon Hill.

Charlie Baker’s massive ad buy.
Plus Steve and Lauren look at the recent Supreme Judicial Court ruling which maintains the 20 day voter registration cut-off.
This episode is sponsored by the Massachusetts Business Roundtable.
