Frederica Freyberg:
Whiplash at the Capitol this week as a Republican candidate for governor whipped Democratic votes to kill a bipartisan bill. And with warmer temps and more ticks, cases of Lyme disease are on the rise.
I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” a full breakdown of the political mashup that held more drama than results. And we hear from the bill’s cheerleaders and challengers. And a rise in Lyme disease infections has physicians cautioning for education and prevention. It’s “Here & Now” for May 15.
