In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes Elizabeth Dionne, a relentless reformer, attorney, and former chair of the Belmont Select Board with proven leadership, financial, and legal expertise. Elizabeth is running for Massachusetts State Treasurer, bringing a history of fiscal responsibility, having delivered balanced municipal budgets and never relying on reserve funds. As a mother of four and a decades-long resident of Massachusetts, Elizabeth is focused on restoring fiscal sanity and advocating for efficient, taxpayer-centered governance. She is widely recognized for working across the aisle, championing transparency, and prioritizing common sense in public service. This episode dives into the urgent issues facing Massachusetts, highlighting controversial and neglected realities, including unchecked government spending, cronyism, insider deals, and an overwhelming exodus of taxpayers and young talent driven by high costs. Elizabeth explains how, over years of one-party Democratic rule, waste, graft, and benefit fraud have flourished while essential state agencies—like the Lottery and the School Building Authority—are riddled with inefficiency and patronage hires. She exposes staggering mismanagement under the current treasurer, the misuse of funds for personal vendettas, and runaway costs in programs meant to support local communities and frontline services. Elizabeth lays out her plan for regular audits, whistleblower protection, and transparency, calling on voters to make 2026 the year Massachusetts reclaims responsible government. The conversation features a call to action for voters to prioritize local elections, push back against the status quo, and demand leadership that values every tax dollar. “I am taking no industry money. If you look at her donations, a lot of industry money. The people who are coming before her, the people she’s regulating, she’s taking money from. That’s corrupt.” ~Elizabeth Dionne This week on Political Contessa: Massachusetts’ unchecked government spending and the urgent need for audits The impact of one-party rule, cronyism, and benefit fraud on state finances Mismanagement and patronage hires undermining the Massachusetts Lottery How runaway costs in the School Building Authority neglect needy students The exodus of taxpayers and young talent from Massachusetts Exploding benefit rolls and the strain on the state’s tax base The $33 billion deficit threatening public pensions and fiscal stability A concrete plan for whistleblower protection, transparency, and fiscal reform Connect with Elizabeth Dionne: Elizabeth Dionne campaign website Resources mentioned: Massachusetts State Retirement Board Massachusetts School Building Authority Star Market app (for coupon savings, an example of personal fiscal discipline) Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

In addition, he is a contributing columnist for the New York Law Journal, New York Business Law Journal, and the Federal Bar Council Quarterly; he has published approximately 300 articles on a variety of legal subjects, and is frequently featured in the national media and regularly speaks across the country on securities, professional responsibility, and complex litigation issues. In 2016, he received the Sanford D. Levy Award from the New York State Bar Association for his contributions to the field of legal ethics. Mr. Stewart is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Economic Club of New York. He is also a Director and Treasurer of Humanities New York. Mr. Stewart has served as a Trustee of Cornell University, Westminster School, the American University of Bulgaria, the American Historical Association, the Young Women's Christian Association of the USA, YMCA Camping Services, and the Federal Bar Council. Mr. Stewart has been recognized by The Legal 500 since 2015, Super Lawyers since 2009, and has also been hailed as a Local Litigation Star by Benchmark Litigation. He is also recognized by The Best Lawyers in America in its securities litigation category. In 2016, Mr. Stewart received the Sanford D.

In 2008, he received the Modaq Content Award for writing the most popular article in the United States. Since 1980, Mr. Stewart has been AV(R) Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell. William Henry Seward and the Secession Winter (November 1860 – April 1861) The lively tale of a politically fraught era 165 years in the past and yet highly relevant today. In the winter of 1860-61, one man, William Henry Seward, Republican Senator from New York (the presumptive favorite for the 1860 Republican nomination for president; defeated by Lincoln on the third ballot), labored mightily to effectuate his plan to save the Union. Because of history's (and historians') heavy bias to portray Lincoln as almost a saint (see, for example, Jon Meacham's “And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle” (Random House 2022)), Seward's prodigious efforts have either been ignored, given short shrift, or looked upon as something less than honorable. This short book – based upon original archival research and a comprehensive review of secondary sources – tells the story of Seward's efforts. Counter-factual history is always an iffy business. But Seward's “plan” did help to keep the Upper South States in the Union during the months before the president-elect became the president. And had his counsel been followed after March 4th, perhaps the course of American History would have played out very differently.

What does it take to run investor relations for one of the most recognized brands in America — a company that's been public for nearly 150 years, serves tens of millions of customers, and is under constant scrutiny from investors, regulators, and the public alike? Today's guest, Brett Feldman, has the answer. As Senior Vice President — Investor Relations and Treasurer at AT&T, Brett oversees IR for a company with a market cap north of $175 billion and a retail investor base that makes up roughly a third of its shareholders — many of whom are also AT&T customers. Brett brings a perspective that's genuinely rare in IR: he started his career in IR, spent 20 years as a sell-side equity analyst, and returned to the corporate side. That full-circle experience shapes how he thinks about everything from analyst relationships to internal communications to the fundamental purpose of an investor relations function. In this conversation, Brett and Mark Fasken go deep on what it really means to align perception and reality — and why getting that wrong has a measurable cost to your company's shareholders. Listen to the full episode to learn more about: The financial case for investor relations — and why volatility is the metric that matters How AT&T communicates consistently across investors, regulators, employees, and customers The internal IR work that most companies overlook What the sell side actually cares about (and what IROs misunderstand) Why smaller companies should build relationships with analysts who are obsessed with their business — not just the ones with the biggest brand names Winning IR is brought to you by Irwin.

Ep 89 | If you've ever felt like your body is talking to you, but you're not sure how to listen, this conversation offers a powerful reframe.In this episode of Homes That Heal, Jen sits down with Dr. Wendy Henrichs for a deep, grounded conversation about chiropractic care, the nervous system, and how the body responds to physical, emotional, and environmental stress. This isn't about chasing symptoms or quick fixes—it's about understanding how the spine, nervous system, mindset, and lifestyle all work together to support healing.Dr. Wendy shares why chiropractors aren't just “back doctors,” how stress and stored emotion can show up as physical pain, and why creating safety for the nervous system is foundational for healing. Together, they explore the intersection of science and what some call “the woo”—from energy, breath, and visualization to nutrition, movement, and daily rhythms that help the body adapt and restore balance.

While the Treasurer maintains a focus on housing supply, proponents of the reform argue that winding back these concessions could reclaim $20 billion in annual revenue and ease the cost-of-living crisis for the nation's workforce.

Law of the Land: Sovereign Citizens Recently, there have been reports of people in Northeast Ohio claiming to be sovereign citizens, particularly when interacting with the police. At the highest level, people who identify as sovereign citizens generally refuse to follow laws, reject court rulings and believe they are not required to comply with federal, state and local authorities. This has been reported to show up as refusing to pay taxes, rejecting driver's licenses, filing frivolous lawsuits, and creating counterfeit documents, among other things. In Monday's installment of our "Law of the Land" series on the "Sound of Ideas," where we look at how laws affect our every day lives, we're focusing on this anti-government set of beliefs. The ideas are prominent enough that they've gotten the attention of the Ohio Statehouse, where two representatives have proposed legislation aimed at discouraging people from refusing to identify themselves to police, while driving. Guests: - Eric Taylor, Sergeant, Parma Heights Police Department - Raymond Ku, Law Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Law - Ric Simmons, Law Professor, The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law School Funding Proposals Many homeowners had sticker shock when their property tax valuations landed in mailboxes last year. Taxes in some municipalities increased more than 20%, which has led to lawmakers working on how to provide property tax relief for Ohioans. But this has the potential to cause complications for school districts across the state, who rely heavily on property taxes for the majority of their funding. Several districts in Northeast Ohio have already posed new ideas on how to fund their schools, one of which is a new income tax. Ideastream's Education Reporter Conor Morris joins the "Sound of Ideas" on Monday to talk about this topic, and share some of the reporting he's done across the region.
