There are no winners with an online lottery. Let’s find a better way to raise revenue, Massachusetts. #mapoli https://t.co/1Nxg4Hi4Ca

[Bruce Mohl @BruceMohl]

Will Austin of the Boston Schools Fund urges lawmakers not to allow the Lottery to move online. Noting the Lottery's record profits, he says the state should not expand a gambling operation that disproportionately hits lower-income state residents. https://t.co/0lMS8apMzC

Research from a @PrioritiesMass 2021 trial to increase Black voter turnout featured in today's Boston Globe from @dscharfGlobe #bospoli #mapoli

[Boston Globe Ideas @GlobeIdeas]

Roughly 30 percent of white Boston voters cast ballots in Boston’s 2021 mayoral preliminary, but only 25 percent of Black voters and 14 percent of Latino voters participated.

What would it take to boost Black voter turnout in Boston?

[David Scharfenberg @dscharfGlobe]

When all three Black candidates for mayor of Boston fell short in 2021, there was broad concern about how to build Black political power in the city. Turns out, a local policy lab was quietly studying that question in real time. My latest for @GlobeIdeas: https://t.co/MPf61UVkfB

[John Griffin @JohnGriffin824]

The most important political decisions in #mapoli, Griffin says, are made in these generally low-turnout elections. And that’s where the most important interventions can be made. https://t.co/EVMLXX11dx
