This guy. Was a Jimmy fund warrior when our daughter Kate was an 8 year old patient. She wore no. 13 on every team for the rest of her life and last night took her 7 year old boy to his first Fenway game. Please donate!

@jonchesto @leung #mabiz #smallbiz #mapoli The #salestax is the most regressive tax on the books. Consumer spending is 70% of the economy. If you want to improve affordability in MA for our working families, & also help our struggling shopping/dining districts, you cut the sales tax. Coupled with an estate tax threshold boost, it would be a perfect tax reform for the Commonwealth to boost the economy & long-term competitiveness for all residents.

Jaylen Brown’s legacy in Boston goes far beyond basketball. Now what? cc: @FCHWPO @BostonXchange @7uiceFoundation https://t.co/JjhgXnw0Jv via @BostonGlobe

[Adam Himmelsbach @AdamHimmelsbach]

One point the great @leung makes in this newsletter: New Celtics minority shareholder Bruce Beal Jr. is a real estate mogul who oversaw the development of Hudson Yards in NYC.

[Adam Himmelsbach @AdamHimmelsbach]

Interesting stuff from @bycathcarlock in the Globe’s “Power Play” business newsletter, which says the Celtics could be exploring the possibility of building a new arena near South Station.

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

What if Jaylen Brown had taken over the Downtown Crossing building now occupied by Uniqlo?

In the first edition of Power Play, our newsletter on power and business in Massachusetts, @leung and @jonchesto wonder what could have been.

The recent collapse of the Croft School in Boston has illustrated one important fact: a diligent, dedicated Board of Directors, whether in a for-profit or nonprofit, is necessary to keep your organization honest and focused on its mission.

@leung My conductor on commuter rail blamed the T not Keolis for the mess today out of North Station because commuter rail was Not reduced Monday, thus preventing important maintenance work when few were riding.

[Shirley Leung @leung]

How are folks @MBTA commutes this evening? Morning commutes on #RedLine have been tough, any better in the evening? @CaitlineAllen @transitmatters thinks reduced schedule during wintry weather might ease rider frustrations. https://t.co/T2jMyCO0lf via @BostonGlobe

I did a bunch of analysis of the AI 50 produced by Fortune this year (not perfect, but vaguely right).

Of the 50 companies listed, 2 are Boston (actually Cambridge), Suno and OpenEvidence. OpenEvidence is headquartered in Miami. So, 1 out of 50 is actually in Greater Boston. Thank you @MikeyShulman!

17 of the 50 top ai companies have founders that went to school in Boston.

The average age of those 17 founders was 28.5 years old when they started the company.

We need to make Boston a great place to start a company. We need to make Boston an extremely attractive place for new grads to put down roots. There is a lot to like about Boston!

A bunch of us are getting together on Wednesday night to talk about it. This is a problem worth solving.

Lets continue discussing, debating, and engaging on how to improve the region.

I'd like to see some of the elected officials who are DM'g me weigh in here.

How @celtics owner Bill Chisholm closed the wildest deal of his life & still hasn't talk to Irv Grousbeck, architect of the sale and whose family owned the Celtics for two decades. A must-read by @AdamHimmelsbach https://t.co/CQUCupWXCd via @BostonGlobe

From Shirley @Leung and @JonChesto: Hasbro’s relocation will bring over 700 jobs to Boston. Should Mass. celebrate stealing the toy company from Rhode Island? https://t.co/vq47MmHLO6
