Week In Review: Local Politics, Criminal Justice Reform And Opioids

The last of the Boston mayoral debates took place on Tuesday evening. (You can see all of WBUR’s coverage of the mayoral race here.) Mayor Marty Walsh has been endorsed by the Globe, the Herald and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. However, a NAACP report this week says Walsh is failing to meet his campaign promises.

We look at how the race is shaping up, as well as the 2018 campaigns beginning to form.

We also talk about the criminal justice reform bill that passed early Friday morning in the state Senate and the public health emergency declared by President Trump for the opioid crisis.
