Thank you so much @CllrKendraLara for bringing our picketers a bunch of chairs after @Starbucks abruptly removed the patio furniture! And thank you to the @nlgmass Legal Observers who so quickly showed up to make picketers feel safer while officers surveilled them. #Solidarity ❤️
Morning, Massachusetts ☀️ Lawmakers are still lawmaking 7+ hrs after formal sessions were supposed to end. Where things stand:
— Econ dev/tax break bill dead for now b/c of 1986 tax-cap law
— Sports betting, mental health, gun law retool moving #mapoli https://t.co/nQB7okSV8h
SUNDOWN: The sun has set on Beacon Hill on the last night of formal sessions for 2022. Still no word on agreements on mental health, sports betting, cannabis, economic development, public land preservation, and judiciary spending bills. Sessions marked by long recesses. #mapoli
INBOX: Four months after they announced their intent to unionize, Senate President @KarenSpilka declines to recognize @BeaconHillUnion, telling staffers in an email tonight she "does not at this time see a path forward for a traditional employer-union relationship." #mapoli
