News Roundup: First Responders Get Vaccines; Baker Vetoes Climate Bill

The vaccine rollout continues across the region, with first responders and older veterans receiving theirs this week. Gov Baker vetoes a major climate bill, as legislators promise it’ll land right back on his desk. And Massachusetts will be getting a new state seal, and the Mashpee Wampanoag will be part of the design commission.

We have those stories and more on the local news roundup, as CAI News Director Steve Junker speaks with some of the region’s leading journalists.

This week's guests include CAI's Jennette Barnes; George Brennan from the Martha's Vineyard Times; Tim Wood of the Cape Cod Chronicle; Josh Balling of the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror; Mary Ann Bragg of the Provincetown Banner; CAI's Sam Houghton; Noah Asimow of the Vineyard Gazette; and CAI's Mike Deehan at the Statehouse; and CAI's Eve Zuckoff.
