I joined Lou Blasi on WCCM last week, during the snowstorm, to talk about municipal health care, pensions, and the upcoming state budget. We were joined by Michael Widmer of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Association, who I consider to be the preeminent budget expert in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mr. Widmer testified a couple of weeks back at the consensus revenue hearing held at the State House. Widmer has been a leading voice statewide on the necessity for health care plan design authority for municipalities. An interesting conversation.
