With the return of a new Trump administration and policies hindering wind power development, the state’s plan to expand its offshore wind portfolio faces uncertainty. While solar power offers potential, its scalability is limited by grid capacity issues and requires substantial investment. Other promising technologies like fusion and low-carbon hydrogen have yet to be implemented in the commonwealth.

Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Linda McMahon’s plan to dismantle the Department of Education means students and schools would lose out on $2 billion in federal funding for our schools. That means bigger class sizes, fewer reading specialists and support for students with IEPs, less funding for poorer and rural school districts and an end to after school programs.” ---Gov. Maura Healey on President Trump’s attempt to dismantle the federal Education Department. “Women in Construction Week is an opportunity to showcase the amazing women in construction, celebrate increased exposure for girls to learn about careers in construction and encourage women to join the industry. Through the recent executive order, continued investment in Registered Apprenticeship, and great partnerships, we are working every day to increase access to training and career opportunities right here in Massachusetts for women and people of color.” ---Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Lauren Jones. “This is a tax-and-spend budget through and through. Gov. Healey is quietly raising taxes while pretending to offer relief. Allowing municipalities to hike their meals tax and triple their auto excise taxes will hit working families hard, while her prescription drug tax will make healthcare more expensive for patients.” ---Paul Craney, spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of March 3-7, the House met for a total of 12 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 22 minutes. Mon. March 3 House 11:02 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. Senate 11:15 a.m. to 11:18 a.m. Tues. March 4 No House session No Senate session Wed. March 5 No House session No Senate session Thurs. March 6 House 11:04 a.m. to 11:08 a.m. Senate 11:09 a.m. to 11:28 a.m. Fri.
