BOSTON – Gov. Charlie Baker on Friday slashed nearly $50 million from the state budget to partially close what his administration identified as a $320 million gap between projected spending and revenues through end of the fiscal year.
The emergency budget cuts, which come at the half-way point in the fiscal year, hit a variety of agencies and departments, with one of the largest reductions being a $10 million cut at MassHealth for fee-for service payments. The MassHealth cut also means the state will forfeit about $5 million in federal reimbursements associated with those payments.
BOSTON – Joseph P. Kennedy III, the last of his storied family to serve in Congress, is running for a third term.
The Brookline Democrat confirmed Thursday his intentions to seek a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives, in an interview with the Attleboro Sun Chronicle.
