Introduction: In 0:02:30, Out 0:03:34 Ginny Berkowitz introduces the show and its topic. Panelist Introductions: In 0:03:35, Out 0:05:31 Discussion: In 0:05:32, Out 1:18:23 Town/gown: nickname for relations between Cambridge and Harvard and MIT. Topics covered: New t/g committee, how it is set up and how David works with it. Old t/g committee formed in 1991, t/g relations not good. More communication now, through Annual Planning Board presentations, Annual Town/Gown Report. Cambridge appreciates universities but asks that they behave like “good neighbors.” Examples: educational programs, things that directly benefit Cambridge residents. Universities must publicize these deeds to get credit for them. Cambridge wants the universities to talk to new biotech companies to show them how to be “good neighbors.” Need for Cambridge and universities to share their long-term plans. Decentralized and shifting nature of city and university leadership makes agreement difficult. When universities buy land: city loses tax money. Harvard’s PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) Program. Role of local citizens: people must have realistic goals, must be civil at meetings, must realize that all action cannot be derailed. Debate sometimes covered by the press. Should be a rotating cast of citizens on meeting boards. Closing Credits: In 1:18:24, Out 1:19:08 CCTV Studio

Discussion topic: priority, value and importance of Massachusetts state funding for cultural institutions. Specifically, the 62% cut to the MCC’s budget and its effect on state and Cambridge cultural resources. Topics: Brief intros of panelists and their organizations: Longy, Mateo’s Theatre, Club Passim, MCC. Cuts’ effects on operations of these organizations. MCC funding and its requirement of “sharing” art with the public. The Public: underappreciates arts, doesn’t believe they need funding, distrusts organizations that dispense public money. Purpose of arts: not just to entertain but to build healthy people and communities. Cutting arts funding means that only the wealthy can experience them. Statistics cite the jobs and revenue provided by arts in New England. MCC’s status as an auditor whose donation to a nonprofit can act as a “stamp of approval” to other donors. Suggested action: make politicians and public aware of situation and its effects. Closing Credits: In 1:03:51, Out 1:04:33 CCTV Studio

Description: Grassroots Democracy and the Internet Opening Title: In 0:00:31, Out 0:01:22 Discussion: In 0:01:23, Out 0:59:52 Discussion of how Internet access can help democratic institutions, promote public discourse, and assist citizens. There are some failures and areas that need improvement. Internet allows alternative viewpoints to be heard but commercial viewpoints still dominate and have more resources. Access to the Internet can be controlled by cable monopoly policies and ISP policies. Pricing of cable service can also keep lower-income people from access. Citizens should challenge the government’s tendency to let businesses consolidate. The Internet is the most accessible form of media but TV still dominates in terms of influence.
