Quote of the Day
“It is incongruous with with our intent … that an agency would take federal support from the taxpayer and then cut services to those same taxpayers,” Lynch said “They’re going to take the billion dollars and lay people off? I don’t think so,”
On Monday morning, Lynch slammed the MBTA for rolling out a wave of service cuts to its core system as Massachusetts receives $1 billion for its transportation agencies under the latest federal COVID-19 relief plan.
