Quote of the Day
“I’m not surprised at all that the MBTA’s approval rating with its customer base was the lowest it’s been in years. The derailment on the Red Line was a massive inconvenience — it still is an inconvenience,” Gov. Charlie Baker said. “We totally get that, I mean there’s work to be done there.”
