GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. TGIF!
VAX HEARING AND REOPENING COLLIDE It was a tale of two headlines for Gov. Charlie Baker on Thursday.
At the beginning of the day, Baker was on defense as lawmakers grilled him over the state s Covid-19 vaccine rollout at a much-anticipated oversight hearing. It was an unusual position for the popular Republican governor, who usually does not face sharp criticism from the Democratic-majority legislature.

Boston Mayor Martin Walsh’s status as labor secretary nominee for the forthcoming Biden administration means the state’s largest city will likely have a new mayor a year from now, and it’s not the only one.
While Walsh’s expected departure for the national stage creates the most high-profile opening, a handful of other mayors have also announced plans to move on instead of running for re-election this year, setting up open contests for their seats.

BOSTON Boston Mayor Martin Walsh s status as labor secretary nominee for the forthcoming Biden administration means the state s largest city will likely have a new mayor a year from now, and it s not the only one.
While Walsh s expected departure for the national stage creates the most high-profile opening, a handful of other mayors have also announced plans to move on instead of running for re-election this year, setting up open contests for their seats.
Like Walsh, former Lawrence Mayor Dan Rivera was set to serve until 2022 but was tapped for a new job. Rivera, first elected in 2013, stepped down on Jan. 8 to become the CEO of MassDevelopment.
