BPR Full Show: Ghostly Encounters

Today on Boston Public Radio:

We started the show with Democratic gubernatorial candidate and Attorney General Maura Healey. Healey discussed her endorsement of tax reform, her support of ballot Question 1, and her desire to have more dense housing built in the state. She also discussed the climate policies she would like to implement if she wins the election on Nov. 8.

Next, we took our listeners' calls on how they feel leading up to the midterms elections now that recent polling shows Republicans have a chance of taking control of both chambers of Congress.

Then Andrea Cabral discussed the implications of Justice Clarence Thomas freezing a lower court decision that would’ve compelled Senator Lindsey Graham to testify about election tampering in Georgia. Thomas has faced calls to recuse himself from all 2020 election matters because of his wife Ginny’s history of pushing election conspiracy theories onto public officials. Cabral is former Suffolk County Sheriff and former secretary of Public Safety.

Gov. Charlie Baker was in-studio for his last “Ask the Governor” segment before the election. He answered our listeners’ questions about struggles at the MBTA, his endorsement of Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson, and refused to say who he plans to vote for to succeed him in the corner office.

Then finally, we opened the lines again to ask our listeners if they are among the 50 percent of Americans who told a poll that they believe in ghosts.
