BREAKING: Sisay Lemma of Ethiopia set a blistering pace and held on to win the Boston Marathon on Monday, running alone through most of the course to finish in 2 hours, 6 minutes, 17 seconds — the 10th fastest time in the race’s 128-year history. boston25news.com/news/local/eth…

Marathon Monday carries so much weight for so many. It can be a day for unity and community. It’s also a painful memory of one of Boston’s darkest moments.
 
May we find strength in each other as we continue to heal and honor those we lost.

Massachusetts has the best research institutions.
The best accelerators, investors, and entrepreneurs.
The best, most talented workers.

We’ve got what it takes to become the climate tech capital of the world. The Mass Leads Act is how we make it happen.
