PAGE 2 THE CHARLESTOWN PATRIOT-BRIDGE JANUARY 30, 2020 editorial

GOV. CHARLIE BAKER AND THE GREAT STATE OF OUR STATE

From the moment that Gov. Charlie Baker strode into the House Chamber last Tuesday to deliver his State of the Commonwealth address, it was evident why Gov. Baker, despite being a Republican in a heavily-Democratic state, has rated as the most popular governor in the country ever since he took office. The governor was greeted by a standing ovation from the legislators, the first of at least 15 that he received on the night, a testament both to his ability to work with a legislature that is comprised of more than 75 percent Democrats in both chambers and the heart-felt degree of respect with which he is held by legislators. Gov. Baker listed a host of his administration’s goals for the future -- most notably in the realms of addressing climate change, health care, public education, and our public transportation issues -- but as is his style, he was quick to point out that he will seek to do so through bipartisan cooperation with the state legislature. But beyond his ability to work with Democrats, there is a deeper rea- son why Charlie Baker rates as the most popular governor in the coun- try: His decency, compassion, and dedication to our Commonwealth and its people is readily-apparent and second-to-none. “People who deal with much greater troubles than ours will rightly question us if we waste our time, and theirs, on the politics of personal destruction,” Baker said to a rousing ovation from legislators. “They Letter to the Editor want us to be better than the yelling they see on TV and across social media.

1 Earn a $400 bonus when you open a new Performance or Performance Plus Checking Account with a $10 minimum opening deposit between 1/13/20 and 3/31/20 and complete the following requirements within each of the first full three calendar months following the date the new account is funded: (1) Receive cumulative direct deposits totaling $1,000 or more. Qualifying direct deposits are electronic deposits of your paycheck, pension or government benefits from your employer or the government. Person- to-person and bank transfers between your Cambridge Savings Bank accounts or accounts you have at other financial institutions do not qualify. (2) Complete 5 posted and cleared debit transactions, including checks paid, debit card transactions, wire transfers, or ACH debits. For example, a qualifying account type opened and funded during the month of January must complete the requirements in the months of February, March and April in order to qualify for the bonus. New account funding must be completed by 3/31/20. You must not currently have a Cambridge Savings Bank personal checking account or have had one in the last 12 months. A $400 credit will be made to your checking account within 30 days of completing requirements as long as qualification conditions are met and the account remains open in good standing. The Performance Plus Checking Account has a 0.05% Annual Percentage Yield (APY). APY is accurate as of 1/13/20. Rate is variable and may change after account opening and fees may reduce earnings. Minimum balance to obtain the APY is $10. No minimum balance is required to receive the bonus. The value of the bonus will be reported to the IRS as interest. Limit one bonus per household. Offer cannot be combined with any other offers and may be withdrawn at any time. All other rules and regulations for checking accounts apply. CHK-0138l Rev. 12/19
