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.
