Baker-Polito Administration continues to be too little, too late on COVID

The Baker-Polito Administration’s response to the COVID pandemic continues to be too little, too late, while failing to put forth any metric-driven plan and failing to share important data. Testing lacks a coherent system and people wait for hours to get tested and days to get results. No plans to expand or systematize testing are evident. COVID is running rampant in Massachusetts prisons with one in six prisoners and hundreds of prison workers testing positive over a recent six-week period from Nov. into Dec. Meanwhile, the Baker-Polito Administration has refused to report on how almost $3 billion of federal COVID assistance has been spent.
