Just days before leaving office, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker looks relaxed and at peace with his decision to leave public life -- and happy to look back over the progress he was able to make during eight years in office.
“State and local government relationships," Baker responded instantly."I think the relationship between state and local government has never been better."
Baker, who spent the better part of his second term managing the COVID pandemic, cites the expansion of broadband in western Mass., improvements to the public education system and fiscal management of the state as some of his top accomplishments. He has been criticized for not doing enough to improve the state of the MBTA, but he pushes back on those who say the system is worse than ever.
