Senate President's view of issues affecting southern suburbs

As president of the state Senate, Therese Murray of Plymouth has an unusually advantageous view of the issues affecting the suburbs south of Boston. She also understands the political realities that will shape just what, if anything, happens on those issues in the coming year. Murray also talked about the challenges posed by a casino in the region, her concerns about safety at the Plymouth nuclear power plant, the problem of towns' diminishing revenues in a sluggish economy, the need for more affordable housing - and the benefits of a Hollywood studio opening in her hometown.

Here's one very smart lady with an informed opinion about everything from nuclear power plants to the economic impact of a local Hollywoood Studio -- it's her home town after all. What do you think?
