Podcast: Abortion rights, housing first, and the Child Tax Credit in Augusta
/

With Ben on the road again, Cate and Esther break down some of this week’s big events in Augusta — the marathon abortion rights bill hearing on Monday, the Child Tax Credit bill hearing on Thursday, and the wonderful discussion around Maine’s likely adoption of a “housing first” model to help deal with the state’s housing crisis.

They also discuss Cate’s new puppy and why the writers’ strike is a good thing.
