What can be done for 'Mass. and Cass' now and in the future

Boston's City Council is set to take up Mayor Michelle Wu's ordinance that would give police greater ability to remove tents and tarps from the area around Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard.

WBUR's senior correspondent Deborah Becker and Sue Sullivan of the Newmarket Business Association join us to discuss short- and long-term proposals outlined in Wu's latest attempt to curb illegal activities at Mass. and Cass.
