NBC10 Boston's Cory Smith, Sue O'Connell and Matt Prichard bring coverage and analysis of politics and government from Beacon Hill to Capitol Hill every Sunday on @Issue - but there's always more to talk about. Taking @Issue offers a glimpse of the conversations that happen behind the scenes, bringing you insight on the issues that affect Boston and Massachusetts, and the context behind the coverage.
This week we're Taking@Issue with an international conflict and a local controversy. Old enemies are engaged in a new battle in the Middle East as Israel and Hamas wage war. Matt, Sue, and Cory discuss the political implications at home, abroad, and in the House of Representatives. And a controversial vote sends millions of dollars to the Boston Regional Intelligence Center. But does the BRIC actually make a difference? The ACLU of Massachusetts weighs in on the debate.
