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 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.
