No more broker’s fees, fare-free regional transit: Despite gloom in DC, Massachusetts lawmakers send Healey on-time budget: https://t.co/2rh5skzftF #mapoli

[Samantha J. Gross @samanthajgross]

Inbox: Lawmakers announce they have reached a deal on a sweeping economic development package, which will “be filed soon” and brought for a vote next week

The bill is a major priority of @MassGovernor, and contains $ for life sciences, new tax credits, among other things #mapoli

OPINION: Legislature pulled up short in July, but it’s getting job done now https://t.co/aYKkWReC6M

[State House News @statehousenews]

NEW: Rep. Roy and Sen. Barrett have "agreement in principle" resolving differences in House and Senate bills addressing "comprehensive climate and clean energy siting and permitting legislation." Their hope is to file a bill in "the coming days" and see it passed ASAP. #mapoli

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Community college is now free in Massachusetts — and it’s the most comprehensive, universal program in America.

Grateful for the partnership of Senate President Spilka, the Legislature, our state's 15 community colleges, and the students who shared their stories with us today.

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

Public transit should be a public good. The inclusion of $30 million in the Massachusetts state budget for RTAs to be fare free is a huge win for transportation equity, safety, and the environment. Let’s keep the momentum going. https://t.co/Pn3xZsdklm

[Matt Stout @MattPStout]

NEW: After @MassGovernor publicly urged lawmakers to return to session and pass a sweeping economic development bill, Senate President Karen Spilka says in statement she is “prepared to call special formal session to get it done.” No word yet from House Speaker @RonMariano

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

Less gas, quicker permits, and a lot more EV chargers — Massachusetts’ next climate law is taking shape. https://t.co/JQ0WG7TgUB

@EllenFlem @WWLP22News Congratulations!! Excited to see what’s next.

[Julian Cyr @JulianCyr]

Calling all MA residents! The Senate Art Committee is asking YOU to nominate an influential woman who you believe should be honored with a bust in the Senate Chamber.

The deadline for nominations is May 1st. I can't wait to see who you submit!🎨https://t.co/MYhimmWo5r

[Gray Milkowski @grmilkowski]

When past and present collide! Highly recommend reading this conversation between @Harvard's @SamLainePerfas and @DrSarahWakeman on why legalizing these "little white rectangles" is the compassionate thing to do.
