If you’re a Scrum listener, you know that Boston has a strong-mayor form of government, with the mayor holding almost all the cards when it comes to actual power and the city council limited structurally in its ability to push back. But now that could be on the verge of changing, thanks to a proposal championed by City Councilor Lydia Edwards that would drastically enhance the council’s ability to shape Boston’s $3 billion budget. In this episode, Edwards makes the case for the changes she’s pitching — which just got the stamp of approval from Acting Mayor Kim Janey — and Peter Kadzis offers some extra thoughts as voters prepare to have their say on the idea this fall.
