It's Friday, which means we review the major news of the week with listener callers and our expert panel. This week, we're joined by Marie-Frances Rivera, President of the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, and Ed Lyons, Massachusetts Republican activist and writer. We discuss Acting Mayor Janey's executive order, banning tents and temporary shelters in Boston, the latest on COVID vaccine boosters and doses for children ages 5 through 11, and the home stretch of the Boston mayoral race.

This segment aired on October 22, 2021.
