Taking@Issue: New speaker, new tragedy, new strategy
This week the team is Taking@Issue with topics stretching from Capitol Hill to Boston City Hall. Sadly, the conversation begins with a detour to Lewiston, Maine, the site of the latest mass shooting in America. The House FINALLY has a new House speaker, but who the heck is Mike Johnson? Can he keep the government open, and will he be a drag on the GOP’s election chances (assuming he’s speaker by 2024)? And the Boston City Council approves an amended ordinance to clear the encampment at Mass. and Cass.
