How would dozens of Amazon Prime Air delivery drones flying above Central Mass affect our neighborhoods, landscapes, and wildlife? We dont know – and neither does Amazon, because they have not done an environmental assessment. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/a...

Artificial Intelligence is already being used to monitor worker productivity, make hiring decisions, and fire workers who dont meet arbitrary and opaque benchmarks. It is ridiculous to let computers stand in charge of humans' lives and livelihoods.

The Boston Globe is right: if data center developers want to build in MA, they need to bring something to the table. Governor Healey's executive order is an important step toward ensuring these megaprojects benefit the communities they build in & should serve as a model for the rest of the nation.

With the cost of gas in Massachusetts rising to $4.41 per gallon, I support the Governor’s proposal to temporarily suspend the gas tax. But let’s be clear about why the price of gas – and pretty much everything else – is spiking: President Trump’s war with Iran & his tariffs on our trading partners.

It is certainly no secret that the cost of housing continues to skyrocket further out of reach for everyday families. The Legislature is working to address the root cause: a severe shortfall in the construction of homes in communities across MA. I spoke with the WBJ on a tweak to our zoning law:

A little-noticed set of amendments buried in the state's fiscal 2027 budget could be one of the most consequential changes to Massachusetts zoning law in decades.
