BOSTON — A day after participating in a Republican governors' conference in Florida and a week after President-elect Donald Trump's stunning upset win, Gov. Charlie Baker indicated to reporters that he'll back efforts to fight the predicted federal crackdown on sanctuary city policies protecting illegal aliens.
"I've said all along I think decisions about how communities want to manage public safety and community issues belong to them," Baker said Wednesday morning. "It's incumbent on our administration and congressional delegation to work hard to make sure that our state receives the federal support we've previously been able to secure."
NORTHAMPTON — Barbara Madeloni, head of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, has called on union members to join together to make Nov. 22 a day to "let students and parents know that love trumps hate, that we welcome all students and their families, and that we will provide places of safety in our classrooms, schools and colleges."
The safe-space declaration came roughly a week after Republican Donald Trump claimed the presidency.
