MA's partisan primaries on 9/01/26, and there are 2 congressional races, 11 down-ballot contests, and state-wide turnout, all of which could have a big impact on the local policy conversation. Who do you think will win? BPI put together a #mapoli prediction game!

NC is one of MA's big competitors, especially when it comes to financial services and life sciences. NC is also doing a LOT more than MA to build housing, not only passing policy like this, but setting far more ambitious housing production goals. #mapoli
Last session, a bipartisan bill to eliminate minimum parking requirements statewide passed the NC House unanimously. On Tuesday, a similar bill eliminating most mandatory parking minimums passed the NC Senate 44–1. The bill heads to the House for concurrence. 📍North Carolina

Interesting analysis from not-affliated-with-the-Globe Corrections Desk, especially in light of the rent control ballot q also being tossed! #mapoli
Replying to @Globe_Correct
2/ Setting aside the childish shirking of responsibility, it’s worth noting the proponents actually offered Campbell’s office two draft summaries that didn’t include the language the SJC found offensive. Both times, AGO added the capital gains reference that sunk the proposal.

This wk’s newsletter breaks down all the budget action, including every budget vote on 6/10 and how a letter from CFO Ashley Groffenberger could be a veto threat: it lays out the Wu administration’s case against a number of changes approved by the Council. #mapoli #bospoli
