After Governor Baker ordered a probe into the way the leaders at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home handled the COVID-19 pandemic (which resulted in the tragic loss of 76 lives living at the Home), the report found the leadership team made decisions that were “utterly baffling from an infection-control perspective." As a result, Massachusetts Secretary of Veterans’ Services, Francisco Urena, has resigned. Here to discuss the report and findings is Attorney General Maura Healey.
