BOSTON – Members of the state House of Representatives unanimously approved $167.6 million in new spending for the current fiscal year on Wednesday, passing a measure that House Ways and Means Chairman Brian Dempsey described as a "bill paying exercise."
BOSTON – Gov. Charlie Baker's alternative hydroelectric power bill may take wind out of the sails of proponents for a potential natural gas pipeline across Massachusetts, the governor's Energy Secretary suggested Tuesday.
The Baker administration filed the "Act Relative to Energy Sector Compliance with the Global Warming Solutions Act" (SB 1965) in July to look at long-term clean energy solutions and promote the use of hydroelectric power in the state.
