The thing is, no matter who Healey hires as the new MBTA general manager, the system is still going to need more operational funding from the state and a new board with local representation. That's what the MBTA discourse with top elected officials should be spotlighting. #mapoli

Lisa Kashinsky @lisakashinsky

.@WBUR's @tiziana_dearing tries to get Gov. @maura_healey to commit to a timeline for announcing a new MBTA GM and transpo safety chief. Healey's been saying it's a matter of "days." Dearing asks if she's talking one or two weeks. Healey dodges: "it will be very soon" #mapoli

The walls are closing in @DoctorTurtleboy @turtleboyphone! #mapoli

Brian Riccio @wtfdic_hour

As you can see here, women like this one and @juliaforboston have had enough of the harassment of @DoctorTurtleboy. So it's hilarious to watch him try and play the victim here when it's clear the low rent porn star is finally getting a taste of his own medicine. #mapoli?… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1638900492649594886
