West Boylston and Worcester have done their part. It’s time Beacon Hill does its part.

Happy Father’s Day.

Today, I remember my father with love, gratitude, and respect.

He came from humble beginnings and taught me the values of hard work, honesty, perseverance, and compassion. The lessons he shared continue to guide me every day, both in my personal life and in my service to others.

Although he is no longer with us, his influence remains a part of who I am. I am forever grateful for his sacrifices, his wisdom, and the example he set for our family.

On this Father’s Day, I honor his memory and extend my best wishes to all fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who help shape the lives of their children and communities.

Happy Father’s Day.

JUNETEENTH
Honoring the Past. Inspiring the Future.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates the enduring values of freedom, equality, and human dignity.

Juneteenth is a reminder that the promise of freedom must be extended to all. It is a day to honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of generations of African Americans whose perseverance helped shape our nation and move us closer to its highest ideals.

As we reflect on our history, let us recommit ourselves to building communities where every person is respected, every voice is valued, and every individual has the opportunity to succeed.

May we continue to learn from the past, appreciate our diverse communities, and work together to build a future rooted in freedom, justice, opportunity, and unity.

Happy Juneteenth.

Public employee pension funds are not a political slush fund.

Teachers, police officers, firefighters, correctional officers, and other public employees spent decades earning these retirement benefits. They contributed to the pension system with the expectation that their money would be invested to protect their retirement, not used to finance government projects.

Governor Healey’s proposal to use pension assets for economic development sets a dangerous precedent.

Supporters argue these investments could create jobs and generate returns. But pension funds exist for one purpose: to provide retirement security and earn the strongest possible return for retirees. Investment decisions should be based on financial performance, not political priorities.

If an investment fails, who bears the risk? Not politicians. Not Beacon Hill. The risk falls on the workers and retirees who depend on those pensions.

Massachusetts workers kept their promise. The Commonwealth should keep its promise to them.

Retirement funds belong to workers, not politicians. Protect our pensions.

If you agree, contact Governor Healey, your State Representative, and your State Senator today. Tell them to keep retirement funds focused on retirement security and reject any effort to use pension assets as a funding source for government initiatives.

Please share this post to help protect the retirement security of Massachusetts workers and retirees.

Workers unions and fiscal watchdogs are in uproar over a bill filed by Gov. Maura Healey that would tap the state’s pension system to the tune of $50M -$100M to fund economic development grants.
