BOSTON – U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton and Gov. Charlie Baker have patched up a rift over dealing with Syrian refugees which erupted last week after the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris.
"We had a very good phone call at the end of last week," Moulton, a Democrat from Marblehead, told reporters Tuesday at the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition in Boston, after he sat in on a roundtable discussion with refugees, advocates and Baker aides. "I think the fact the governor was willing to send representatives here today to listen is exactly what we need to do."
BOSTON – In an effort to help borrowers struggling to repay student debt, Attorney General Maura Healey on Tuesday announced a new student loan assistance unit and a crackdown on unlawful debt relief companies.
"These are so similar to some of the problems we saw and some of the practices we saw with the mortgage crisis," Healey said. "Families struggling to get by, servicers not doing their job, and scam artists stepping in to take advantage of vulnerable people."
