Birthday: State Senator Michael Moore
Quote of the Day
“Tonight, the governor presented a rosy picture of our commonwealth, declaring unequivocally that the state of the commonwealth is strong. However, her narrative fell short of reality, obscuring critical challenges and ignoring pressing issues. Massachusetts faces a crisis of affordability, with an unsustainable cost of living driving a mass exodus of residents,”
Republicans thought Gov. Maura Healey's annual address "presented a rosy picture" that "fell short of reality;" while top Democrats said they were glad she highlighted past successes, but didn't jump on board with every one of her outlined priorities.
