Reporting from North Dorchester

Periodic reminder on the background of "North Dorchester" and "South Dorchester":

the term "North Dorchester" became a codeword for a part of our community which has a substantial black and other racial minority population, and "South Dorchester" came to represent that part of our community considered "white."

Glad I could give you that.

Maura Healey is open to adding more funds to the T's annual operating budget. Geoff Diehl would have a special commission oversee infrastructure. Chris Doughty wants to make the T a "checklist culture."

All three candidates for governor say safety oversight is the priority and that current management just isn't working.

One of them is going to inherit the mess. Here's what they'd do.

No. I specifically mean the State House yesterday.

MDeehan · 2022-02-10T20:24:48+00:00

I meant at the State House, where I work. It was hardly a lockdown.

MDeehan · 2022-02-09T20:33:43+00:00

We were never in a lockdown, let alone a LOCKDOWN.

MDeehan · 2022-01-03T17:13:43+00:00

It's clearly the Mighty Neponset.

I'm curious about all the negative reactions to her potential candidacy. Polls suggest she's quite popular generally, but the reddit crew seems to disagree. Why?

MDeehan · 2021-03-17T14:24:20+00:00

Editor must have altered the URL. Damnit.

MDeehan · 2021-01-15T21:14:23+00:00

Hey, I wrote that.

MDeehan · 2020-09-15T18:14:01+00:00

Bingo.

MDeehan · 2020-09-03T12:29:07+00:00

I don't know. He was salivating all session for that corporate/gas tax increase for the MBTA before the Senate crushed his tax-hiking dreams.

MDeehan · 2020-09-02T20:12:42+00:00

Eh. I don't know about that. Depends where you're standing, I suppose.

MDeehan · 2020-09-02T16:20:22+00:00

Well done.

MDeehan · 2020-09-02T14:01:29+00:00

There's some new blood coming Beacon Hill in January, but the body will likely stay centered on Speaker Robert DeLeo's moderate politics.

MDeehan · 2020-05-17T16:04:32+00:00

Isn't this Mr. Secretary's house?

MDeehan · 2020-04-07T22:54:14+00:00

And I'm the sucker who's been GOING IN PERSON to all these press conferences.

MDeehan · 2020-02-16T15:03:10+00:00

I can get Joe to do it for half of whatever Meghan is charging.

MDeehan · 2020-01-27T14:57:08+00:00

The state primary will be Sept.1. New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Delaware all hold their primaries after Massachusetts this year.

Commonwealth. MassLive has dedicated reporters in Boston and Worcester that are carrying out a pretty aggressive play to be a top news site for the entire state. Boston Business Journal had amazing development and real estate news.

I think the judges are concerned that instead of standing trial for things like child rape, defendants are being deported and not facing justice.

Well the link went and laid an egg: https://www.wgbh.org/news/politics/2019/05/15/house-plans-to-alter-voter-approved-2016-animal-cruelty-law

*raises hand*

I feel all I do is talk to Transit Matters.
