Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and State Senator Nick Collins continue to butt heads over Wu’s tax shift plan, which would shift the property tax burden from homeowners to commercial property owners. With residential property taxes expected to rise 13% next month, Wu is urging approval from Beacon Hill. Senator Collins outlines that Wu’s plan will burden the city’s economy by putting an increased strain on commercial developers who are already struggling to fill office spaces. Senator Collins checked in with Dan to discuss.

This week the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments over President Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship in the United States. President Trump attended the first day of oral arguments Wednesday, making him the first sitting president to attend arguments at the country’s highest court. During the session, the nine justices appeared skeptical of Trump’s order with Chief Justice John Roberts appearing to dismiss a contention by U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer defending Trump's order saying, "Eight billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who's a U.S. citizen." To which Roberts replied, "Well, it's a new world, but it's the same Constitution." Where do you come down on birthright citizenship? Do you think Trump’s order will stand?
