           A new oversight committee of the Massachusetts legislature is demanding answers about the state’s troubled coronavirus vaccine rollout and is going right to the top.

         Gov. Charlie Baker along with his top aides in the area of public health are expected to appear at Thursday’s Beacon Hill hearing.

          The Democratic-led legislature has had a very cooperative relationship with the Republican governor for six years and has given Baker a wide berth to manage the pandemic.

           WAMC”s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill asked Matt Szfranski, editor-in-chief of Western Mass Politics & Insight if this oversight hearing represents a sea change in the state’s political dynamic.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
