Thank you for all your support for the Field Lab over the years + your inspiring words at the 20th Anniversary Symposium!

[Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll @MassLtGov]

As Mayor of Salem, I had the chance to work with the @Kennedy_School and Field Lab alums. These students get hands on experience and help us solve real problems communities across Massachusetts face everyday!

Great to join the 20th Field Lab Symposium last month and encourage these future leaders to continue careers in public service!

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Massachusetts is the best place to live, work and learn because we invest in booming industries that tackle the world's biggest challenges.

Today, I signed the Mass Leads Act to build on our life sciences leadership and position our state as a hub of climate innovation and AI.

[Deborah Goldberg @MassTreasury]

Thank you to all those who joined us for the 12th Annual Massachusetts Investor Conference today! Your investment in our state helps drive growth, benefitting all who live and work in Mass.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Community One Stop for Growth programs invest in our communities — they create homes and jobs, upgrade infrastructure and revitalize our downtowns and main streets.

Today in Worcester, we awarded $161M to 313 projects in cities and towns across Massachusetts!

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Thanks to the Biden-Harris administration, we have an unprecedented opportunity to compete for billions of federal infrastructure dollars.

Team Massachusetts always plays to win. Today, I signed first-in-the-nation legislation to maximize federal funding.

[A & F @MassANF]

We are celebrating our #1 ranking, and staying committed to making Massachusetts more competitive, affordable, and equitable for everyone who calls our state their home!

[Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll @MassLtGov]

This is real relief — real dollars and cents back in the bank accounts of families, seniors, renters, businesses, commuters, and more.

We’re excited to spread the word that savings are on the way! 💸

[Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll @MassLtGov]

This is a BIG moment for our team and for Massachusetts! The budget delivers on many of our team’s hallmark proposals for kids, families, communities, and our planet.

And this is just the beginning! I'm excited to get to work turning these ideas and investments in to action.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Today, we released our five-year capital plan to make Massachusetts more affordable, competitive, and equitable – starting with the high cost of housing.

Our plan puts $1.5B+ toward housing and creates HousingWorks, a new program to build hundreds of affordable homes each year.

[A & F @MassANF]

Happy 100 days @massgovernor @MassLtGov from all of us here at A&F! So excited for what's to come. #mapoli

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Today, we filed a $734 million supplemental budget that builds on our recommendation for fiscal year 2024.

With more funding for universal school meals, clean energy, and hiring at the MBTA, we’re driving affordability, competition and equity in Massachusetts.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Last week, we started a conversation with our fiscal year 2024 budget. Today, I testified before the Joint Ways and Means Committee to continue that conversation with my partners in government.

Here’s what I told them: At its core, this budget is about helping people.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

There’s potential in every city and town in Massachusetts. In every student. Every family. Every small business.

We face challenges, but I have faith in our state and its people. Together, we will meet this moment.

[Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll @MassLtGov]

Massachusetts is always a leader - in education, in science and tech, in democracy and civil rights.

But too many states are passing us by when it comes to affordability.

To keep leading on a national scale, we need to compete.

[MassEducation @MassEducation]

Today, @MassGovernor and @MassLtGov announced that we are fully funding the Student Opportunity Act-- making the largest investment in K-12 schools in MA’s history. Because when our students reach their potential, Massachusetts does too.

[Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll @MassLtGov]

Good cities and towns don't happen by accident. As a former Mayor, I know that a strong partnership with the state is key.

We promised to let local leaders know what to expect from our budget so they can start planning to use it. Today, we followed through on that promise.

[A & F @MassANF]

Today, @MassGovernor and @MassLtGov announced that their first budget will include the largest dollar-amount increase in K-12 funding in Massachusetts history 📚💸📈

We're making big investments in students, their schools, and our future.

[A & F @MassANF]

Today, Secretary Gorzkowicz and our partners in the Legislature announced the FY24 consensus revenue forecast of $40.41 billion, a 1.6% increase over adjusted FY23 estimates. The consensus revenue figure is the basis of the Governor, House, and Senate budget recommendations.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Today, our administration filed a FY2023 supplemental budget to help people access basic necessities like food, shelter, and other wraparound services.

We’re proposing $282M to expand the Emergency Assistance system and extend two food security initiatives.

[Charlie Baker @MAGovArchive]

Over the past 8 years the kindness and generosity of the people of Massachusetts were on full display. @MassLtGov and I got a front row seat.

It's what makes our people special. And it's the foundation on which we can continue to build great communities and a great Commonwealth.
