Be sure to stop by Green Newton’s Farmers Market booth at Cold Spring Park on Tuesday afternoons to meet our high school student interns, Nastassja and Jenny, who were matched with our group as part of the Mayor’s Summer Youth Internship Program. In addition to staffing our Farmers Market booth, they are both working with Green Newton President, Marcia Cooper, to research and write on environmental topics, such as composting and Newton’s solid waste/recycling issues. This provides an exciting opportunity for them to learn new skills and increase their non-profit organization work experience… and of course, Green Newton greatly appreciates their volunteer participation!

Yes, you ought to read this thread - and will probably be surprised.
Here, Itai shows that Baker's campaign regularly works with a communications consultant who also works in real estate - the industry that Baker references as his reason for vetoing the recent climate bill. https://twitter.com/itai_vardi/status/1350115050594336768
