WORCESTER, MASS.- As always, The Radio Roundtable breaks down the most significant local issues of the day. In this case, should Worcester get involved in running a supermarket? The Roundtable examines the pros and cons and discusses the rationale behind the idea. The food deserts that exist in the city and why it is hard for Worcester to attract more supermarkets. They also discuss the recent decision to cancel the Latin American Festival. How much had to do with a fear of ICE, and how much had to do with finances? Petitions – should all petitions to the City Council go through a councilor, or will that have a chilling effect on democracy? Listen in and weigh in Tuesdays from 7-8 a.m.
