It’s important for elected officials to engage people in the political process. Ideally, this is through live listening events where members of different communities get to talk about how policy affects their lives. COVID-19 made that impossible, so Anna invited members of the community and experts to join her on Solidarity LIVE to engage in the discussion of problems and solutions for our community.

23. The Climate bill that passed, and the timelines we are missing – Incorruptible Massachusetts
After 13 years of no action on climate change, the MA State House finally passed a bill committing to net zero carbon emissions. After vetoing this bill (which thankfully later passed when our supermajorities of Dems in both houses stood their ground), the Baker administration has missed many of the legislated deadlines required in the bill. Cabell Eames from 350 Mass gives us the details on this crucial legislation.Jonathan Cohn, Jordan Berg Powers (absent today), and Anna Callahan chat about Massachusetts politics. This is the audio version of the Incorruptible Mass podcast, season 4 episode 23. The video version is available here. You’re listening to Incorruptible Massachusetts. Our goal is to help people understand state politics: we investigate why it’s so broken, imagine what we could have here in MA if we fixed it, and report on how you can get involved.
