Governor Charlie Baker told an interviewer he hadn't heard about a $100,000 bathroom that the Massachusetts Department of Transportation installed at its headquarters in Boston – 17 days after it was first reported by WCVB Channel 5.
The 115-square-foot bathroom and kitchenette were installed in a boardroom so that board members don't have to walk across the hallway to a public bathroom, where they can be followed by reporters, a transportation department spokesman told Channel 5. The report aired February 19.
Former Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank is no fan of Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley's upstart bid to unseat longtime U.S. Representative Mike Capuano.
In an interview with Bloomberg Radio, the 77-year old Newton Democrat Frank tore in to the city councilor-at-large from Dorchester, describing her decision to primary another Democrat as a "fight that is being generated by personality and ego, with zero issues."
