BOSTON – A small crowd that gathered Tuesday evening to weigh in on the potential elimination of the MBTA's late-night weekend transit service spoke nearly unanimously in favor of saving the costly option.
Kenzie Bok, who said she is a 26-year-old lifelong resident of Boston's Bay Village, said she reviewed her calendar over the past 10 weeks and tallied up nine times when she had used late-night service. She estimated spending about $10 or $15 for every extra hour of socializing she gained by being able to rely on the extended service.
BOSTON – Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, in his annual address on the State of the City on Tuesday night, challenged the leadership in the State House to make a "full-investment" in early education in next year's budget.
"I invite everyone to join me in making a stand for early education," Walsh said to a packed Symphony Hall, where Gov. Charlie Baker, Speaker Robert DeLeo of the House of Representatives and dozens of state lawmakers were on hand.
