Boston Mayor Michelle Wu reflects on relationships with state legislators, city council

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu enters her second term on awkward footing with important partners.

She's been butting heads with Beacon Hill lawmakers who've foiled her efforts to make city tax rules more progressive. And an unusual end to the race for Boston city council president prompted insinuations from some councilors that Wu was exerting undue influence on the body.

In an interview with WBUR's Morning Edition, Wu shares her thoughts on the current state of key relationships, and her hopes for how they might evolve over the next four years.
