GREATER SPRINGFIELD – State Rep. Carlos Gonzalez of Springfield, the chair of the Black and Latino Legislative Caucus, is proud of the work he and his colleagues did on a new police reform bill, which is now on the desk of Gov. Charlie Baker.
At his press conference on Dec. 1, Baker said, “I’m glad the Legislature moved forward on this. I’m glad that this was something that was part of what they considered to be important to get done before the end of the session. But I can’t speak to the specifics of this until we have a chance to review it.”
