Episode 40: The Last Ballots Standing
7/18/18 -- The Legislature has reached a budget compromise and our guest host Lizzi Weyant, manager of government affairs at MAPC, explains what’s in it, what’s not and what’s next. Then George Cronin of Rasky Partners details the questions still standing on the ballot, and The Dorchester Reporter’s Jenn Smith highlights the “proxy fight” in the 7th congressional district.
Plus Lauren Dezenski puts her vacation on pause to talk about former governor Deval Patrick stumping in Texas, and what that means for his future ambitions.
This episode is sponsored by the Massachusetts Business Round Table.
