Honored and humbled by the confidence and trust put in me by President @KarenSpilka to Chair the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. We have a lot of work ahead of us and I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues to confront the challenges facing our Commonwealth!

It’s always great to see my friend @MayorPaulCoogan and the work he is doing to continue to lead Fall River forward. Fall River is continuing to succeed under the strong leadership of the Mayor, Chairman @SenRodrigues and Reps @RepAlanSilvia, @CaroleFiola and @RepPaulSchmid!

I’ve been following Portuguese football for a long time and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger superstar head to Portugal than Angel Di Maria.

Man of the Match in a World Cup Final seven months ago….now headed to the Portuguese champions.

The @MAStateHouse lost another wonderful former colleague with the passing of a true gentleman, Steve Kulik from #westmass. A friend and mentor to many with a strong legacy of service. Thoughts and prayers to his family. Thanks and praise to Steve for a life well lived. #mapoli
