Listen "Passing Illegal Legislation"
Episode Synopsis
Please donate to the show!Today, we discuss the implications of passing laws that are not currently legal, and why that is particularly important for legislators at the city and state levels here in Massachusetts. We start with home rule petitions for policies that the state has not allowed legislation for yet, and later explore how Republicans and Democrats view this legislating strategy differently.Jordan Berg Powers, Anna Callahan, and Jonathan Cohn chat about Massachusetts politics in our latest episode. This is the audio version of the Incorruptible Mass podcast, season 5 episode 54. You can watch the video version on our YouTube channel. You’re listening to Incorruptible Mass. Our goal is to help people transform 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.
