“Who’s Delaying Climate Action in Massachusetts?”

January 22, 2021 By Charley on the MTA 1 Comment

A new report from Brown University* proves what we already knew: Climate action in Massachusetts is bought off and delayed by well-heeled special interest lobbies. This is in spite of overwhelming public support in polls, and a display of … [Read more...]

“Democracy has prevailed”

January 20, 2021 By Charley on the MTA 1 Comment

And so the Presidency of Joe Biden begins. It is beautiful and telegenic -- the rippling flags on the Mall and the ranks of National Guard making a striking image. The latter should have been unnecessary: This isn't a peaceful transfer of … [Read more...]

“41 minutes of fear” – video narrative of the Capitol riot

January 18, 2021 By Charley on the MTA 6 Comments

If you haven’t seen this 15 minute video at the Washington Post, it’s necessary to understand the terror of January 6th. The Washington Post put together videos from a variety of sources to create a timeline of events. Everything unfolded … [Read more...]

MLK Day: In spite of all, a window of opportunity

January 18, 2021 By Charley on the MTA Leave a Comment

First things first: Don't read me, read MLK's Letter from a Birmingham Jail, for a poke and prod of motivation. I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years … [Read more...]

Why won’t Charlie Baker sign the climate bill?

January 13, 2021 By Charley on the MTA Leave a Comment

UPDATE: Speaker Mariano and Senate President Spilka have indicated that if Baker vetoes, or pocket-vetoes the bill, they're just going to refile it -- and presumably pass it with a veto-proof majority. In other words, Baker might as well … [Read more...]

Ed Markey on yesterday’s attempted coup

January 7, 2021 By Charley on the MTA 18 Comments

I'm glad we kept this guy. It's hard to write about yesterday's events over my overwhelming disgust. What can one say? The clownishness and absurdity of yesterday's desecration doesn't diminish its horror. I think the comparison … [Read more...]

Georgia

January 5, 2021 By Charley on the MTA 12 Comments

Open thread. What’s going to happen? So far looks good ... this feels like one of those creaky wooden roller-coaster rides. Again. The only thing I think I know is this: Stacey Abrams has done it right, and from the ground up, … [Read more...]

The Mariano era begins

January 3, 2021 By Charley on the MTA 3 Comments

Ron Mariano is your new Speaker. This is like the motion of tectonic plates: Things move underground, but nothing changes above. The end of an era. What kind of era -- well, you can describe it yourself. I'd say DeLeo generally did what … [Read more...]

In case there’s any doubt

December 21, 2020 By Charley on the MTA 10 Comments

I delete posts that have anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia, etc. Don’t wonder, don’t complain. If you do it, it’s gone. And you’ll be gone. … [Read more...]

Ron Mariano for Speaker, huh? BMG (and the internet) remembers!

December 17, 2020 By Charley on the MTA 46 Comments

The name "Ron Mariano" and "Capital Grille" are joined in my mind, like "dental plan" and "Lisa needs braces" ... Why? I knew there was something. And friends, this is why we have "institutional memory", so that at the moment of … [Read more...]

This old quote from Hank Aaron in The NY Times obituary just left me speechless. I had not seen this before.

Flashback Friday to something that happened, and something that didn't happen but it would have been EPIC.

@SenSanders, ask @SenMarkey what this mishigas is all about.

1/3 NY awarded contracts for 2.5 GW of OSW the day before @MassGovernor vetoed the #NextGenClimate bill, which included 2.4 GW of OSW for MA. The result? NY is now positioned as the “undeniable center of gravity” for the E. Coast OSW industry.
