Now Estonia accuses Russia of stoking migrant influx 

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:48 GMT

Estonian Interior Minister Lauri Läänemets said on Thursday Russia extended a provocative measure, originally aimed at Finland, to Estonia by “deliberately” allowing asylum seekers without visas or residence permits to reach a crossing point on its shared border, according to news outlet Delfi.“Russia lets them pass without any reason, which means that these persons reach us and we have to deal with their concerns,” he said. “Since they have no basis for entering the European Union, it is obviously an organized and deliberate activity to burden the activities at the borders.”Läänemets also said that Estonia has so far returned every person trying to cross the border without documents or permission, reinforced its preparedness and it was in close communication with Finland and other neighboring countries.The minister’s claim follows a decision by Finland earlier Thursday to completely close four border crossings with Russia from Friday night until Fe...

MBTA Repair Costs Explode In New Assessment

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:48 GMT

MBTA officials put an eye-poppingly high new price on infrastructure needs across the system Thursday, estimating that it would cost nearly $25 billion to fix everything that is not in a state of good repair.The T rolled out its first new capital needs assessment since 2019, when officials under the Baker administration projected a roughly $10 billion cost to replace all outdated MBTA infrastructure with modern alternatives.The new estimate is nearly two and a half times more expensive than the last capital needs assessment, which officials said is driven by a combination of factors including stinging construction inflation and MBTA assets aging faster than they are being replaced.Officials also updated their methodology this time around. As a result of changes to the T’s asset management systems, the latest study counted 83,683 individual assets to produce its cost estimate, compared to 59,073 assets in 2019.MBTA General Manager Phil Eng plans to discuss the new ass...

Shelter Approach Leaves Democrats at State House Divided

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:48 GMT

The separate scrums held back-to-back on opposite sides of the State House early Thursday morning were telling.House and Senate Democrats downplayed the obstacles of moving their stalled supplemental budget with shelter system funding during upcoming informal sessions, but it was the latest example of the majority party showing fundamental disagreements about legislative goals and being unable to rally around a single approach in a timely manner.Talks around a spending bill to steer money toward the emergency shelter crisis collapsed late Wednesday and the last formal session the Legislature is allowed under its rules to hold this year ended without an agreement between the House and Senate Democrats who left the pressing matter until the very last minute, and are now at the start of a holiday season recess.  They now plan to more formally negotiate a compromise and if they can put their differences aside, try to get Republicans on board and pass it during the next several week...
