Politics, As Usual — Three Strikes Rejected, Romney in Israel and EBT Abuse

It’s Monday, and that means we’re talking politics, as usual.

First up, we have Gov. Patrick’s refusal to sign Three Strikes into law. He’s requesting an amendment that allows for judicial discretion in cases where offenders have served either two-thirds of his or her sentence or 25 years of a life sentence. Then, Mitt Romney met with his former colleague at Boston Consulting Group, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and pledged U.S. support behind an Israeli assault on Iran, if elected. Plus we discuss the best method of quelling EBT abuse.

Guests:
Peter Blute, deputy chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party
John Walsh, chair of the Massachusetts Democratic Party
