A distinguished panel moderated by nationally recognized talk show host Christopher Lydon included Pulitzer-Prize-winning architecture critic Robert Campbell of The Boston Globe and Betsy Shure Gross of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. State Senator Elect Jarrett Barrios sounded the themes of the day and was joined on the podium by US Representative Michael Capuano.
