mayor walsh and governor baker enumerated there, schmitz and cooperation crystallize by the account that ge could see an inch of daylight between boston' s democratic mayor and massachusetts republican governor. the attacker are -- to tackle our long to do lists, they need to nurture the relationship to complete the cycle. out an agenda to fight the opioid epidemic , taking a lead on clean energy generation, and lifting the cap on charter schools. missing perhaps were more candid reflections on other pressing concerns. neither leader sufficiently address the crippling infrastructure issues, traffic congestion, and dangerous bridges. especially in the seaport district are the focus of so much excitement and urban growth. while team management and transparency has improved, we are in for a long ride before we arrived at a public transportation system that can adequately service state needs. the challenges loom large, but if leaders can remain focused on solutions and not partisan politics, victories will come. we can only hope our bipartisan spirit will infect presidential candidates stump
