Boston Police Cuts Being Mulled Over. As the Boston City Council debates Mayor Wu’s $4.6 billion fiscal budget for 2025, they have proposed amendments totaling $30 million, $18 million of which would be police cuts. Larry Calderone, president of the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association, says talks of defunding the police at a time when social unrest is high and police departments are having a tough time retaining officers, is “absurdly irresponsible for the citizens of Boston.” Calderone joins us to discuss.

The Fight for Minimum Wage. Restaurant servers in Massachusetts are pushing for a ballot measure that would require restaurants to pay their tipped workers the state’s minimum hourly wage of $15, before gratuities.

Steve Clark, President & CEO of the MA Restaurant Association joins to discuss.
