Quote of the Day
“It's astounding to me that we're three months into the legislative session and we're not hearing anything about non-budgetary bills. We're seeing a complete lack of a sense of urgency that I know is shared by myself and pretty much every other Mass. resident I know," Hille said. "The Democratic leaders in our state have a responsibility to both protect our residents and serve as a bit of an alternative when it comes to policy compared to what we're seeing coming out of the federal level.”
