Charlie Baker is not a fan of the ROE Act abortion bill, but another Republican governor of Massachusetts has a different opinion.
That would be Jane Swift, who served as acting governor from 2001 to 2003. She endorsed the legislation, a version of which passed in the Massachusetts House of Representatives on Thursday, during an appearance on WBUR's "Radio Boston" Week-in-Review panel on Friday afternoon.
When it comes to court picks, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker's latest is a dud.
Baker nominated Kimberly Budd to serve as the chief justice of the state's Supreme Judicial Court in late October, and the Governor's Council held their first public hearing for Budd on Thursday, November 12. She is currently a justice on the seven-member court. This nomination would make her the leader of the court.
