It's the most important elected office almost nobody has heard of. The Governor's Council confirms every judge, clerk magistrate, and parole board member in Massachusetts, and signs off on pardons and commutations. Jordan and Jonathan sit down with Governor's Councilors Tara Jacobs and Paul DiPaolo to explain what the council does, how they vet nominees for lifetime appointments, and why they say "rubber stamp" doesn't fit. We'll also get into the recent parole board rejection, what parole is actually for, and why you should never skip voting for Governor's Councilor on your ballot.
You’re listening to Incorruptible Mass. Our goal is to help people transform state politics: we investigate why it’s so broken, imagine what we could have here in MA if we fixed it, and report on how you can get involved.
