We leave the national headlines behind and take a look at the hyperlocal stories that deserve our attention, even if they didn't make the front page. Today we focus on the ramifications of State Rep. Carlos Henriquez's arrest, what the state budget means for community colleges and a poll that revealed that  half of U.S. Hispanics identify as politically independent, as well as Harvard's Latino leadership initiative.

Guests:
Howard Manly, Bay State Banner executive editor
