This week on Talk of the Neighborhoods, host Joe Heisler first talks with former Boston City Councilor and unsuccessful 2017 mayoral candidate Tito Jackson about his move into the private sector. Jackson is now the CEO of Verdant Medical, a newly formed cannabis company working to open recreational marijuana storefronts in three Massachusetts locations, including Mattapan in the city of Boston. Then on the second half of the show, newly minted House Ways and Mean Chair, Rep. Aaron Michelwitz of the North End, and Assistant Majority Leader, Rep. Michael Moran of Brighton -- two of Speaker Bob DeLeo's top lieutenants --join Joe to talk about the latest state budget and the role they played in shaping it.
