Special Coverage: Baker's 2017 State Of The Commonwealth Address
ResumeThis past year was a busy one for Gov. Charlie Baker. He staked a position against then-GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump — ultimately not voting for either major party candidate.
Back in Massachusetts, he signed into law a bill that puts tighter controls on opioid prescriptions. He pushed hard on a ballot initiative to raise the cap on public charter schools, a question that failed at the ballot box.
According to a WBUR poll out this week, the governor has a 59 percent favorability rating among respondents.
In his address, Baker lays out his vision for the state in the year ahead.
