Rules: The way the State House is run, and why it matters (with Act On Mass)

from Incorruptible Mass · host Anna Callahan

Last week, our state reps voted down three no-brainer rules that would have made our State House more transparent. Today we talk to Erin Leahy from Act On Mass about their work lobbying for these rules reforms for the last 9 months. Ironically (but not surprisingly), they sprung this vote on the reps (and on us) with less than four hours notice. Jonathan Cohn and Anna Callahan and Jordan Berg Powers (away this week) chat about Massachusetts politics.

Beyond Reasonable Doubt: The Troy Davis Project Georgia Public Broadcasting In 1991, seven black and five white jurors convicted Troy Davis of murder in the shooting death of Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail. Davis sat on Georgia’s deathrow for 20 years. Leading up to his execution, there were mass protests. Some of Davis’ supporters included Pope Benedict XVI, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, and former Republican Congressman Bob Barr of Georiga. Their efforts to stop the execution weren’t successful. On September 21, 2011, the state of Georgia executed Troy Davis. Atlanta-based playwright Lee Nowell was captivated by the case. She was commissioned by Atlanta’s Synchronicity Theatre to write a play based on Troy Davis’ story. It premiered at Synchronicity in 2016, and was called "Beyond Reasonable Doubt: The Troy Davis Project.” Each act of the play may lead you to a different conclusion about Troy Davis’ innocence or guilt. Lee Nowell adapted the play for GPB as a podcast and radio broadcast, featuring all the original actors.
