Episode 4: Where Policy Takes Shape: A Deep Dive into Committee Work

In this episode of Legislative Lens: People and Policy, we take a behind-the-scenes look at the crucial, but often overlooked, role that committees play in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.  Host Michelle Badger is joined by Rep. Mark Sylvia, a freshman legislator, and Rep. Sean Garballey, Chair of the Joint Committee on Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development.  Together, they unpack how bills are assigned, what happens during public hearings, and how committee decisions shape the policies that impact our daily lives.  It is a thoughtful breakdown of one of the most important parts of the legislative process.     The Local Seen by Plymouth Area Community Access Television welcomes residents of Plymouth, Pembroke, Kingston, and Duxbury into our studio to produce their own show, podcast, or special to air on our community and YouTube channel.
