Morning![]()
I'm having a hard time thinking we are going to be healed for a very long while. We are forever changed because those people, just hoping that its in a good way eventually.
Dear Governor Baker:
Thank you for your level-headed and reserved leadership. You have transcended politics and have taken the necessary steps to protect the citizens of this Commonwealth. By your actions, lives have undoubtedly been saved.
While not our regional leader, you have also shown openness and co-operation with leaders from other parties by being the only Republican governor to join the seven-state Northeast Regional Coalition. I am very glad you have chosen to do this. Despite the independent streak that all New Englanders are known for, we clearly cannot resolve the crisis alone.
This fact has been thrown into stark relief by the utter collapse of the government of the United States of America. Throughout the crisis, it has been exemplified by what I view as the “50 States, 50 responses†approach. Neither the President nor Congress has shown any inclination to provide guidance, coordination, or any sort of relief to any of the fifty states. I would in fact declare that we are no longer United States.
I will keep my point brief; I am advocating strongly that you urge Governor Cuomo to maintain the regional coalition as the crisis abates. We cannot rely on Washington for anything; it is up to us to watch out for each other. New England cannot exist without New York; whether they realize it or not, the reverse is true for the Empire State.
Your contributions to the coalition, and willingness to work together, compromise, and make the necessary sacrifices for the good of us all clearly demonstrates what is sorely lacking in Washington, DC.
If our national leaders have failed us, we must take matters into our own hands. As you well know, Massachusetts led the fight against tyranny 245 years ago at the Old North Bridge. The rest of the fledgling nation rallied to our cause, and we overthrew a dictator to forge our own path. It is time for this Commonwealth, and you and Mayor Walsh as well, to take up that mantle of leadership once again and lead us out of this national nightmare.
