The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance is calling on Governor Charlie Baker to get approval from the state Legislature before implementing a climate-change program that could lead to higher gasoline prices.
Baker administration officials say the Transportation and Climate Initiative program isn't a gas tax but rather a "cap-and-invest" program, meaning that the state would cap allowable emissions and use the money garnered from fuel providers to invest in transportation approaches designed to reduce pollution that state officials say is leading to global warming.
On Tuesday, October 2, Frank Guerra, Headmaster of Boston Trinity Academy, will be honored by the Harvard Club of Boston with the Friends of Education Award. According to the foundation, this award is given "to individuals who have made significant contributions towards the education of secondary students." Past recipients of this award include Mayor Tom Menino, Governor Charlie Baker, Reverend Dr. Ray Hammond, and William L. Burke, III, headmaster of St. Sebastian's.
This year marks Mr. Guerra's 10-year anniversary as Boston Trinity Academy's headmaster. The school was founded in 2002 by a group of educators, clergy, and business leaders who saw the need for first-rate, Christian education in the city of Boston. The founders envisioned a Christian school on par with the best private schools in New England. But unlike other schools, Boston Trinity would reflect the rich diversity of the city of Boston and the world.
