Professor of Political Science and Director of the UMass Poll Tatishe Nteta comments in an article about the agenda set by new Massachusetts governor Maura Healey. Nteta says the early weeks of a new governor’s term “is where leaders step up and articulate their vision for the future of the state, and the question is, is she going to do that or is it just going to be reactive to the problems that we have been dealing with, whether that’s the MBTA or issues of housing, the overarching issues or transportation and economic issues. Is she going to be proactive and visionary? Or is she just going to be reactive and managerial?” (GBH, 2/22/23)
