@BostonGlobe says BPS enrollment fell to 44,000 students. With spending at $1.7B, that’s $38K/student. BC High $35K, Catholic Memorial $32K, Cathedral $15K. Compare performance? https://t.co/IUzDBHD2IG #bospoli @PioneerBoston

[Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance @MassFiscal]

MIT’s Jonathan Gruber, who has called voters “too stupid,” says cutting the income tax will cost lives.

Eastern Bank CEO Bob Rivers, who makes $4.2M/year, says it won't help.

These are the out-of-touch elites who showed up to oppose the income tax reduction question.

Residents exiting Massachusetts took a net of $4.2 billion in adjusted gross income with them in 2023, one of the largest totals in the country, after a tax on millionaires took effect https://t.co/IxqXCrabiN

Massachusetts isn’t building enough homes, and families are paying the price.

A new chapter from Pioneer’s Agenda for Leadership: Choosing to Compete lays out clear, actionable reforms to speed permitting, modernize zoning, and expand housing supply.

"Taxpayers fled these high-tax states and piled into low-cost, low-tax states such as Texas, Florida and North Carolina, where they can keep more of their money and, in many cases, retire their snow shovels."

[Boston Herald @bostonherald]

People are fleeing high-tax Massachusetts at a much higher rate than those moving to the Bay State, resulting in a net domestic out-migration of 182,145 over the past five years, according to a new watchdog report. https://t.co/TIckJg1ppj

@CityOfBoston shd reject PLAs: They add nothing to wages (prevailing wage is already the law), exclude 80+% of industry (incl minorities), and inflate costs dramatically. @MayorWu #mapoli https://t.co/h9tdT3fwLO

Wasn’t the case in 2011 when we had high standards. “Black fourth graders in MS are on average better readers than those in MA, … often thought to have the best public school system in the country (and one that spends twice as much per pupil).” #mapoli https://t.co/26ZbPpZnsD

@AmtrakNECAlerts What’s the status

[Jim Stergios @JimStergios]

#Massachusetts lost private sector jobs since 2020 while NC, FL and other states grew at more than 10% their job base, costing #MA billions in tax revenue. https://t.co/nrsxWvUMgF via @cwbeacon #mapoli

[Jim Stergios @JimStergios]

A rosy fairy tale dressed up in data: IPS’s report on #Massachusetts’ surtax spins selective numbers while ignoring lock-in effects, IRS migration trends, and basic economic reality. Wishful thinking isn’t policy. Read our rebuttal: https://t.co/cgKF0WC71Z @statehousenews #mapoli

@SpockResists Stop the BS. Basic processing (concentrating mined ore, separation refining for light rare earths) <3 yrs. Full separation refining for heavy rare earths (equipment, chem processing, supply chain for reagents, upskilling) <7 yrs. Closed-loop ecosystem <10 yrs. Start now!

@FedericoRampini Questo è un link alla citazione di Carville. https://t.co/C64vi6psKy

[Jim Stergios @JimStergios]

@FedericoRampini Una piccola osservazione amichevole sul tuo pezzo “Evviva i mercati”: non è stato Larry Summers a dirlo, ma James Carville. Detto questo, sei davvero un giornalista brillante e fuori dal coro.

@ezraklein This is a must-view video for Massachusetts’ state leaders.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

If liberals do not want Americans to turn to the false promise of strongmen, they need to offer the fruits of effective government. But that means admitting where the governments they run have gone wrong.

[Jim Stergios @JimStergios]

@karenvaites It’s the one truly reliable measure that’s been left standing for folks who want to know what works.

[Jim Stergios @JimStergios]

@JDVance Niall’s point is: Negotiate seriously (don’t concede things that will debilitate Ukraine and ensure another round of fighting).

Your response? It’s long but not a direct reply. A hearty word salad but still a word salad. @nfergus

@Grimezsz Right wing guy? Are moderate Ds right wingers now?
