STATE HOUSE — Gov. Charlie Baker sat in the sun on the State House lawn Monday afternoon, relishing a victory for his administration and some in the Legislature.
With the stroke of his pen, Baker signed into law an energy bill that aims to diversify the state's energy portfolio, spur the development of an offshore wind industry and protect customer wallets.
BOSTON — The Baker administration, which struggled to balance the state's books in fiscal 2016, plans to use borrowed dollars for its final two months of payments to the MBTA, freeing up operating dollars.
An administration official said the operating cash would be used to address the fiscal 2016 tax revenue shortfall – which fell $484 million below expectations.
