Inauguration Week On Beacon Hill

by: Henry Epp January 16, 2017

On Friday, Donald Trump will be sworn-in as president. Throughout the campaign, Massachusetts Republican Governor Charlie Baker opposed Trump, but Baker is planning to attend the inauguration in Washington. However, the governor’s plans are not a concern to his supporters, according to State House News Service reporter Matt Murphy.

Also this week:

  • Friday is the deadline for Massachusetts lawmakers to file many bills for the new two-year legislative session.
  • By the weekend, municipal leaders will likely hear from Baker how much state aid they can expect in the next fiscal year.
