STATE HOUSE — Three newly-minted state representatives, the winners of last Tuesday's special elections, were sworn in and took their seats Wednesday afternoon prior to a House session where a bill to address the opioid crisis was adopted.
With Gov. Charlie Baker on vacation in Utah, Reps. Gerard Cassidy of Brockton, Stephan Hay of Fitchburg, and Thomas Walsh of Peabody were sworn in by Acting Gov. Karyn Polito, who said that it will be "a day you always treasure."
BOSTON – Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker got some good news today from General Electric, the Connecticut-based industrial giant, which confirmed plans to move its headquarters to the Hub, locking in a win on some big bets the two leaders made.
"They are going to be a tremendous part of the growing innovation economy we have here in Massachusetts and we really look forward to welcoming them," Baker told reporters late Wednesday at the State House. "This is a huge win for the city of Boston and a huge win for Massachusetts."
