Gov. Baker is seeing cracks in his popularity because he has thrown Central Massachusetts, the area that initially delivered him the governorship, to the curb. Still no mass vax site in Worcester County and just 1 outside 495 (Springfield).
Happy Monday ☀️ Gov. Baker's popularity is showing some cracks according to two polls, but unclear if that will last as vax rollout improves. Plus, there's a push to decriminalize magic mushrooms, teachers are getting their shots and MORE in Playbook -->
