Unpacking A Flurry Of Weekend Activity At The State House

Gov. Charlie Baker has quite a few matters to consider after the Legislature's last-minute finish to its two-year session.

Bills winning last-minute approval over the weekend include one setting regulations for ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft, another creating new renewable energy goals for the state, as well as a bill to modernize municipal government.

But there are also some high-profile bills that died a quiet death, with lawmakers unable to reach compromises before a July 31 deadline marking the end of formal sessions.

State House News Service managing partner Craig Sandler joined WBUR's All Things Considered to discuss what happened over the weekend.
