Mass lawmakers want role in allocating influx of federal funds

Kicking off annual hearings on Gov. Charlie Baker s budget proposal for next year, the top Senate Democrat on the budget-writing committee told the administration that lawmakers want to play a highly constructive and meaningful role in determining how billions in potential new federal stimulus funding gets spent. We need to think carefully about how we responsibly and carefully use these resources to best position the commonwealth for long-term success, said Sen. Michael Rodrigues, chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee. Michael Rodrigues FACEBOOK PHOTO Rodrigues was referring to the funding that could flow to Massachusetts from President Joe Biden s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill that passed the House last week. The state could receive $4.5 billion in aid under the bill, which remains subject to change as it heads to the Senate.

After longest year, Baker faces decision soon

During his half-hour appearance on GBH Radio on Thursday, Gov. Charlie Baker revealed a bit about how the people around him view the prospect of him seeking a third term, if not how he views it himself. Baker and co-hosts Jim Braude and Margery Eagan were talking about the vaccine rollout and when Baker would get vaccinated when Braude asked Baker, You re 64 but don t you feel like 84? Baker agreed and told Braude how people he talks to thought he d have calmer waters at this point in his second term. Longest year of my life, no question, he said. You know, everybody says, governor, you know, 28 days of snow, Merrimack Valley gas explosions, bomb tornadoes on the Cape at the beginning of the tourism season, ice storms in western Mass. — your last couple years are going to be a breeze!
