The sweeping criminal justice bill that Gov. Charlie Baker signed earlier this month received widespread, but not universal, praise as a welcome turn away from the tough-on-crime policies of the 1980s and ‘90s. One notable dissenting voice was that of Setti Warren, the former Newton mayor who is now one of three Democrats vying to challenge Baker in the November election. Warren said there was lots that he liked in the bill, which pulled back sanctions in all sorts of areas, including eliminating or ratcheting back several mandatory minimum drugs sentences. But he denounced the inclusion in the bill of new mandatory minimum sentences related to the synthetic opioids Fentanyl and Carfentanil and said he would have vetoed the legislation because of them. Sen. Will Brownsberger, the lead Senate author of the bill, called Warren's position “uninformed,” and said it prompted him to endorse Jay Gonzalez, one of Warren's rivals in the Democratic primary for governor. Warren and Brownsberger sat down together to discuss their differences in this week's Codcast. The crux of the debate came down to finding the right balance between sticking with one's principles and the need for compromise to move things forward.

Move over, Elizabeth Warren—there's another #mapoli luminary stirring speculation of a 2020 presidential run. Former Governor Deval Patrick's recent comments to an NPR affiliate in Kansas City, Missouri have stoked talk that he might be eyeing the White House, and there's other circumstantial evidence that suggests it's not just idle chatter. But how likely is it that Warren and Patrick would both get in the race? In this episode of the Scrum, WGBH senior editor Ken Cooper offers some inside intel which indicates Patrick may have been contemplating a run for a while; Peter Kadzis argues that signs point to Patrick being very serious about a bid; and Adam Reilly waxes nostalgic about Patrick's ability to make everyone he talks to feel like they're being listened to with the utmost attentiveness. Taking a different tack: former Patrick campaign manager / current Setti Warren senior advisor John Walsh, who urges Cooper, Kadzis, and Reilly not to treat Patrick for President as a done deal...yet.

The Scrum rounds out its conversations with the Democratic candidates for governor with Setti Warren, the former mayor of Newton. Yawu Miller, senior editor at the Bay State Banner, joins WGBH News's Peter Kadzis and Adam Reilly for the conversation.

Gov. Charlie Baker's administration has spent three years whipping the MBTA into shape. Costs have been pared back and revenues have been increased -- all so more money could be invested in long-range improvements. But as the race for governor starts to heat up, Baker finds himself asking riders for more patience, saying his administration is dealing with decades of neglect at the MBTA. The governor called last Wednesday's derailment, which knocked out the Red Line between JFK/UMass and Broadway stations for most of a day, not acceptable. But he promised big improvements over the next few years, particularly on the Red and Orange Lines. On the Codcast, Setti Warren, the former mayor of Newton and a Democratic candidate for governor, and James Aloisi, the former secretary of transportation, said the MBTA needs to address its problems more quickly and more forcefully. Both called for more revenue for the T and both faulted Baker and House Speaker Robert DeLeo for resisting that effort.

This week it's all about challenges: special guest Lawrence Friedman, professor of law at the New England Law Boston explains the details of the supreme judicial court case regarding the so-called millionaire's tax; Steve breaks down his latest WBUR poll on the primary race between Mike Capuano and challenger Ayanna Pressley; and Setti Warren shares delegates with his fellow gubernatorial challengers in Newton.

Setti Warren is no stranger to overcoming long odds. In 2010, he became the first-ever popularly elected African-American Mayor in Massachusetts, and in 2013 he won his re-election bid to remain as Mayor of Newton, Mass. And now, he's running for Governor (against the most popular incumbent governor in the country). Prior to entering political office, Warren served in the Clinton Administration in a number of offices, as well as the New England Regional FEMA Director, and then in higher education at Boston College. A Navy Veteran, husband, father, and Mayor, Setti Warren announced his candidacy to challenge Republican Governor Charlie Baker in May of 2017. Baker has been recently distancing himself from Donald Trump's divisive rhetoric, perhaps seeing the writing on the wall of a tougher-than-normal re-election campaign. Warren's platform is one of a bold progressive. He is pro-single payer healthcare, free college tuition, a new "millionaire's tax", and a high-speed rail project across Massachusetts. -------- This podcast is sponsored by TAMGA Designs, a clothing brand that envisions a better future for our planet.
