Gov. Charlie Baker, we can’t wait any longer for answers - too many lives hang in the balance! #mapoli #covid19
2,225 #COVID19 cases + 32 deaths were newly reported across #MA this weekend alone & Gov. Charlie Baker is not even holding a press conference today to describe his administration’s response to the surging number of cases, hospitalizations, & deaths across the Commonwealth! #mapoli
The state’s system for distributing rental assistance is bursting at the seams and “completely overwhelmed.” A few days ago, the Baker Administration told State Rep. Mike Connolly they’re hoping to have it working by the end of November. Seriously? Thousands of families will fall through the cracks before then! Gov. Charlie Baker must do better than this!

Delays and debt mount as state rent relief program strains to meet demand - The Boston Globe
Struggling renters and their advocates warn of months-long delays getting rental aid, as the state's program — which is being expanded as the eviction moratorium ends — struggles to keep up with enormous demand.Governor Baker’s reopening plan was flawed from the beginning -- in terms of inadequate surveillance testing, inadequate protections for vulnerable residents living in congregate settings, inadequate support for hard-hit communities, and premature reopening of casinos and indoor entertainment venues. And now we are seeing the consequences play out.
