LYNN — State Rep. Dan Cahill (D-Lynn) joined Attorney James J. Carrigan on his LCTV show, “The American Dream,” this week to discuss the state of the house and thoughtful analysis.
The show, which airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., and Saturdays at 7 a.m. on Comcast Channel 3 and Verizon Channel 38, is “designed to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how public and private policy is developed,” according to Carrigan.
The conversation between Cahill and Carrigan ran just under half an hour and Carrigan began by quipping that Cahill would “tell us what it’s like behind the scenes of the House of Representatives,” drawing hearty chuckles from Cahill and Carrigan.
Cahill, who serves as chair of the human resources and employee engagement committee, which used to be known as the personnel committee, began the show telling Carrigan what exactly that role entails.
“[It’s] a great committee mainly because it used to be about giving out primo office space to people but COVID hit and then I’ve been knee-deep in a lot of policy changes, a lot of handbooks, a ton about health information, vaccination policies, member vaccination policies, constitutional issues with that, when to open the state house … it turned out to be quite the active committee, which I’ve learned a lot,” Cahill said.
Episodes can be found on the Lynn Community Television website after they air.
