BOSTON – Older adults in the Bay State fare much better in terms of their overall health compared with the rest of the nation.
Moving up from sixth place, Massachusetts ranked first in a recent survey of the health of older residents, according to the state Health and Human services office. It cited the 2016 America's Health Rankings Senior Report from the United Health Foundation in Minnetonka, Minnesota.
BOSTON – Michael Mulhern, the head of the MBTA Retirement Fund, is resigning after 10 years in that post, asserting that the fund has been subjected to "ill-informed" criticism.
In a letter dated Monday to James Evers, the chairman of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Retirement Fund board, Mulhern, a former general manager of the T, said the timing was right for him to move on. He cited a report from outside consultants confirming the accuracy of the fund's financial statements and that the fund has published its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for 2014.
