Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld will be in Boston Monday to turn in signatures needed to ensure ballot access for the Johnson-Weld Libertarian Party presidential ticket.
According to the Weld campaign, the former governor will address those who believe supporting his ticket with former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson will be a wasted vote, since Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump are leading in public opinion polls.
Gov. Charlie Baker on Monday plans to sign legislation putting Massachusetts on a course to diversify its energy generation base by procuring 1,600 megawatts of hydropower and offshore wind energy through long-term contracts.
The bill also contains language promoting gas leak repairs and the development of energy storage technology and authorizing the Baker administration to establish a carbon reduction research center at the University of Massachusetts.
