At the Massachusetts Teachers Association last meeting, the board voted to urge President Biden to stop funding Israel’s “genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza.” To say I am disappointed is an understatement. I am appalled at this action taken by the MTA.

It’s time to fight to make our voices heard—all of our voices—and end one party rule on Beacon Hill. A vote for Peter Durant is a vote for a better state government—we need two healthy teams on the political field. On November 7, I ask for your vote.

All 22 communities in the Worcester Hampshire District will have increased infrastructure funding coming in. The Healey-Driscoll Administration today announced that it is delivering a total of $100 million to the state’s 351 cities and towns to support local infrastructure.

Using one time funding to address the migrant crisis is not the solution. That is a dangerous precedent to set for our state’s economy. Even using those funds, the state is going to run short. Then what do we after that?

Funding is allocated through two formulas. The first half of the funds, amounting to $50 million, is distributed using the Ch 90 formula, which considers road mileage, population, & employment. The remaining $50 million is allocated based on each community’s share of road mileage

Mount Wachusett Community College, Worcester State University, and Quinsigamond Community College are set to receive funding that will greatly help to address these college’s deferred maintenance projects. I applaud the efforts of all involved to secure this important funding.

There has been a rise in antisemitism across the country and the world and this statement fuels that sentiment. When our educational leaders believe in hatred, and spew it to their members, there is a dangerous risk that it filters to our children.

At a time where state revenues are decreasing, we cannot crush our budget and leave you, the taxpayer, to pick up the slack. "We should limit the right to shelter law to people who have been here in Massachusetts for 1 year or more." 2/3
