Weekend-end horse-race hash

March 5, 2006 By Charley on the MTA

In spite of David's praise of the Herald's recent political coverage, I recently remarked to someone that the Herald was the place to read about "potholes in Southie"; I made myself chuckle, but I'm probably wrong.  (Lesson: Don't make … [Read more...]

Wanted: Health care chops from our candidates

February 16, 2006 By Charley on the MTA

Other Gabrieli thoughts

February 15, 2006 By rex

Menino, Trav, Dimasi and the other Democratic power brokers aligned behind Reilly because he was the favorite and had a ton of money.  As many know, an elected candidate rewards his supporters with access and appointments.  At the … [Read more...]

Numbers were meant to be manipulated…

February 6, 2006 By silence_dogood

The #HousingCrisis & the #ClimateCrisis must be addressed together. We can no longer let our communities, particularly black & brown communities, be displaced by speculative investors buying up properties & jacking up rent.

We could improve our solar + farming (agrivoltaics) program and IX situation :) so we can actually get MWs in the ground while keeping farmers farming for another generation. #mapoli 1000MW+ of solar in the SMART program stalled in MA.

The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe

An alarming new report on climate change raises a difficult question for Massachusetts, already ahead of most states on climate policy. Is it even possible to move faster? https://trib.al/qHy7zwc

“What if I told you… this wasn’t a question of how liberal we are? 🙄 Or that what happens to literally five one-hundred-thousandths of a percent of the Earth’s surface area…. won’t matter for the planet’s mean surface temperature at all? #mapoli

Sabrina Shankman @shankman

On Monday, UN Sec-Gen. @antonioguterres said that in response to the dire IPCC report, developed nations should aim for net-zero by 2040. That's 10 years before MA's goal, so we asked the question: In liberal MA, is it even possible to move faster?
