Today in Ashfield, we celebrated the progress we've made over the past eight years to connect western Massachusetts communities with broadband access.
We've invested $57 million dollars to provide residents in 53 towns with access to basic needs and online resources.
The opioid epidemic has impacted families and communities across Massachusetts. Our administration has worked with countless partners over the past 8 years to respond.
Today @MassLtGov and I joined @MassAGO, @MassHHS and providers, families and advocates to reflect on that work.
Same post of many, just w new HUGE numbers. State revenues up $369 MILLION in the first 4 months of the year - more record highs in tax receipts being produced by a great economy. Why would we damage that economy by adopting Q1 when Beacon Hill has so much $$ already coming in?
Happy 5th Annual Statewide #MassSTEMWeek!
This morning at @Northeastern, our administration joined students, educators and employers to kick off another Massachusetts #STEM Week aimed at celebrating #STEM learning and careers.

It's always great to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at @ElMundoBoston's annual Hispanic Heritage Breakfast.
I appreciated the opportunity to reflect on our administration's collaboration with so many partners to support the thriving Hispanic communities in Massachusetts.
This weekend is the annual Sales Tax Holiday! Shop local to support your neighborhood businesses and Main Street economies!
I was proud to sign a law in 2018 creating a permanent, annual Sales Tax Holiday.

We are grateful for the survivors who time and time again have courageously shared their stories of incomprehensive violence and trauma to try to help move the dangerousness bill forward.

Glad to join state, local and community officials today in Worcester to announce the 2022 Permanent Supportive Housing Awards, which will deliver $31M in subsidy funds to 11 projects statewide and create 237 units of permanent supportive housing for vulnerable populations.
Pleased to join @chamberworc to welcome Ghana’s Ambassador to the US, Her Excellency Hajia Alima Mahama. Glad to discuss our shared commitment to STEM education and careers, the vibrant Ghanaian community in Massachusetts and the partnership between our two nations.
The commemoration and celebration of #Juneteenth is an important opportunity for us to reflect on not just the meaningful progress we have made in achieving equality in the Commonwealth and across the nation, but also the work we must continue to do.
Survivors and their families have already withstood unimaginable trauma and pain, and our administration's proposed public safety legislation would offer them the defense from their abusers that they deserve.
Our administration remains committed to fostering the Commonwealth's innovation ecosystem to attract high-quality jobs and new employers to every region of the state, and today's ribbon cutting of Amazon's newest MA facility in Boston's Seaport is a testament to that effort.
Here in the Commonwealth, we are committed to ensuring that MA remains a leader in treating all people with fairness and respect, and protecting LGBTQ rights and equality.
Proud to once again proclaim June as #PrideMonth in Massachusetts.

Our administration's FORWARD bill is a $3.5 billion plan to put federal and state dollars to work on behalf of MA's cities and towns, small businesses and families.
In @NewBedford_MA, our plan would invest $87 million in critical projects and the clean energy sector.
We remain committed to creating additional access and awareness about STEM careers for all Massachusetts students and bolstering the Commonwealth’s talent pipeline.

#ICYMI 🌎 Through the last round of funding announced this month in Lawrence, totaling more than $8 million, MA has awarded over $153 million to Green Communities in Designation Grants and Competitive Grants since 2010 to support clean energy projects.

"Unfortunately, he did do it again."
Like many survivors, Jo loved her abuser and hoped he would change with therapy — instead, he continued to assault and terrorize her.
