On today's CCTV Cambridge episode: The city is making noises about improving Central Square and Carl Barron Plaza is a construction zone... is something really going to happen this time? Also, why did the manager cut funding for the only outdoor performance venue in CSQ? #cambridgema #cctvcambridge #mapoli https://vimeo.com/982082398

On today's CCTV Cambridge: "What's That About?" A viewer wanted to know about the MBTA's plan to shutdown the redline this July which we get into, but we also can't help but discuss the two recent deaths on our roads caused by trucks right-hooking cyclists.

New On CCTV Cambridge: Now that new City Manager Yi-An Huang has served for a year, loyal viewer "Louis" asks: how did he measure up to previous managers? Luckily, because of a 2021 voter referendum, the council was forced to do an annual performance review of the manager for the first time since 1942! Good job, voters!

On today's CCTV Cambridge episode, we explain how the MA Legislature is literally the worst in the USA at their main job of passing legislation. 50th out of 50 states! However, the one big bill they DID deign to pass was a $1 billion tax cut for the wealthy. Et tu, democrats? #cambridgema #cctvcambridge #mapoli

On today's CCTV Cambridge "What's That About?": we try to make sense of how the Baker administration illegally "accidentally" spent $2.5 bill-lllion federal dollars (or about 1 Jay-Z) while at the EXACT SAME TIME approving a quick rebate of $3 billion dollars to taxpayers. Now Governor Healey has about 99 more problems to deal with as she tries to pay it back. #mapoli #cambridgema #cctvcambridge

People of the Face: On today's CCTV show, we're EXCITED that MA state auditor Diana DiZoglio is investigating the shady practices of the legislature, but will Speaker-for-life Ron Mariano and President-for-life Karen Spilka really cooperate with the inquiry? ...wait, why's everybody laughing?

"What's That About?" answers folks' burning questions about issues affecting greater Cambridge. #mapoli #cctvcambridge https://vimeo.com/839915118

On today's "What's That About?", the team explains how a city of 118,000 people like Cambridge became such a news desert (thanks vulture capitalists at Gannett!), but Desmond says there's hope on the horizon as local non-profit Cambridge Day looks to provide an oasis of local reporting. #cambridgema #cctvcambridge #mapoli https://vimeo.com/831516136

On today's "What's That About?", Muffy on Willard Street thanks Maura Healey for proposing millions of dollars in tax cuts for rich people like her...but wait! Isn't that a slap in the face to voters who just approved the "millionaires tax" to help fund education and turn around an ailing MBTA? Desmond explains... "What's That About." #cambridgema #mapoli #cctvcambridge

Today on #CCTVCambridge's What's That About: Is DCR the state parks department or the Department of Cars and Roads? After the city of Cambridge showed overwhelming support for keeping Riverbend park open on Saturdays for the third year in a row, the DCR... arbitrarily closed it anyway. We address that question and more, like why Cambridge's rep Marjorie Decker is the only local politician refusing to take a public position.

On today's "What's That About" on CCTV, we cover the recent police killing of Cantibridgian Arif Sayed Faisal and why the community is in an uproar weeks after the shooting. Sadly, this episode was filmed before the release of the video of the Memphis police murder of Tyre Nichols, so we couldn't mention that heinous event, but after the police killing of Keenan Anderson in Los Angeles. https://vimeo.com/794294032
