Week In Review: Transition In The Boston Mayor's Office, Pandemic Woes

Here is the Radio Boston rundown for March 26. Tiziana Dearing is our host.

It's our Friday Week in Review. The United States Senate confirmed Dorchester-born Marty Walsh as the next U.S. Secretary of Labor, the first person with a union history to head the agency since the 1970s. That paved the way here at home for a daughter of Roxbury to blow up tradition and become the first Boston mayor who isn't a white man: Acting Mayor Kim Janey.

So, what's not in transition? The pandemic — or maybe it is, but transitioning in the wrong direction again. The Baker Administration continues to face fire from a lot of directions on how they're handling it. We take listener calls and discuss it all with our panelists: Boston Globe columnist Renee Graham, and Massachusetts Republican activist and writer Ed Lyons.
