Mass. Mayors Keep Eyes On Debt Ceiling Negotiations
ResumeHouse Speaker John Boehner scrambled to muster support in an advance of a vote on his version of a debt limit plan Thursday.
Senate Democrats have already said they would reject Boehner's proposal. And so with the all-important Aug. 2 deadline approaching steadily, there is still no sign of a deal.
Yesterday, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino called the Washington political posturing ridiculous, and said Boston faced a catastrophe if no deal is reached.
We ask Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone if he is as concerned about the possibility of a federal debt default, and what impacts it could have on Somerville.
Guest:
- Joseph Curtatone, mayor of Somerville
