The Challenge Over MA Highway Service Plazas. Global Partners is a 4th generation Massachusetts based company that is one of the Northeast’s largest independent owners, suppliers, and operators of gasoline stations and convenience stores. Recently the MassDOT Board of Directors awarded the redevelopment of 18 highway service plazas to a private-equity backed, foreign-owned corporation in Ireland. Global is challenging that decision and urging Gov. Healey to intervene as they believe the contract should be awarded to a local company that “reflects the Commonwealth’s values, supports local communities, and prioritizes long-term public interests.” Global Partners President and CEO Eric Slifka joins Dan to discuss.

Trump Is Fuming! President Trump is NOT happy with either Israel or Iran after both countries appear to break a ceasefire, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Days after the U.S. struck Iranian nuclear facilities, the President was asked what he thought about the teetering ceasefire between the two middle eastern countries, saying, “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f--- they're doing.” We discuss the fragile conflict in the Middle East as President Trump seems to be losing his patience with even ally Israel!
