The Short List: Warren Grills Carson, Massachusetts Standard Time, Under The Radar

NEPR's Week In Review

by: Carrie Healy January 13, 2017

What made The Short List this week?

  • Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren sought assurance from U.S. Housing Secretary appointee Ben Carson that the Trump family would not financially benefit from HUD grants at his Confirmation Hearing this week. She wasn’t assured.
  • The state has a commission looking at time: getting rid of “springing forward” and “falling back.” Are there benefits?
  • And the panel looks at two stories that they believe flew under the radar this week.

Click the audio player above to hear New England Public Radio’s Carrie Healy explore these issues with Rick Hurst of The African American Point of View and Mike Dobbs of the Reminder newspapers.
