POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: McGOVERN rising — No GUN consensus on Beacon Hill — Great Barrington’s WEED turf war
NOTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE FROM CHARLIE BAKER, NO SOLUTIONS, NO SUGGESTIONS.
CHARLIE BAKER IS INCAPABLE OF LEADERSHIP.
MOUNT IDA'S PROBLEMS WERE KNOWN AND CHARLIE BAKER IGNORED.
- "Baker criticizes Mount Ida leadership after college's sudden closure," by Laura Krantz, Boston Globe: "Governor Charlie Baker on Tuesday afternoon sharply criticized the leaders of Mount Ida College for their abrupt decision to close the school and sell the campus to UMass Amherst, saying Mount Ida's officials had not looked out for the students and staff. Baker, speaking to reporters on Tuesday afternoon at the State House, said what bothered him most was that Mount Ida seemed to have been in decline for a while, so he wondered why the closing needed to be so sudden."
- "Former EPA Administrator Says Scott Pruitt Is 'Embarrassing' The Position," by WGBH News: "If former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy could rate the first year of her successor, Scott Pruitt, she'd give him a number in the negatives. 'It's not good at all,' she said during an interview Tuesday with Greater Boston. 'As a past EPA administrator, I think I join Republican and Democrat administrators of the past, as well, in saying he's not even paying a bit of attention to the mission of the agency, and he's just - he's embarrassing.'"
- "Mulvaney Faces Elizabeth Warren Grilling Over New Tone at CFPB," by Elizabeth Dexheimer, Bloomberg News: "A highlight will be Mulvaney's faceoff with Senator Elizabeth Warren, the financial industry's most vocal congressional critic and the CFPB's biggest defender. Since Mulvaney took over in November, Warren has scrutinized everything from his hiring of GOP congressional aides to his decisions to drop enforcement actions. Mulvaney's Thursday appearance before the Senate Banking Committee will be the Massachusetts Democrat's first chance to spar with him publicly."
