New Chair Of Massachusetts Black And Latino Legislative Caucus Discusses Priorities

    The Massachusetts Black and Latino Caucus has announced priorities for the new legislative session.

     Leading the Caucus as its new chairman is three-term Democratic State Rep. Carlos Gonzalez of Springfield.  

     He said the priorities address specific issues impacting the state’s communities of color.

     The Caucus endorsed 27 bills that have been filed dealing with issues ranging from K-12 school funding to fair housing to climate change in urban communities.

    

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.
