Episode 68: We Have Issues

from The Horse Race · host Steve Koczela; Jennifer Smith

2/6/2019-- Jenn returns unhappily to Boston after having spent a blissful week in the Utah mountains basking in the sun and snow and artistic films. Steve and co. are here to bring her back to reality. Matt Murphy of the Statehouse News Service stops by to talk about Right to Repair, which determines who should be able to fix your car, and billionaire Tom Steyer's effort to impeach Trump as well as his recruitment of Rep. Richie Neal. Jenn and Steve ask CommonWealth Magazine reporter Andy Metzger about the importance of Statehouse rules and whether the freshman class of lawmakers eager for transparency and change might actually achieve it. Lastly, as the dust (or confetti, rather) settles from the Super Bowl victory parade, Steve and Jenn have some questions for sports lover and MassINC Polling Group research director Maeve Duggan. Namely, how does our largely anti-Trump commonwealth reckon with the Trump sympathizers who also happen to be pillars of the beloved New England Patriots?
