Statement from Governor Moore on National Governors Association Bipartisan Dinner

"This week, I learned that I was uninvited to this year's National Governors Association dinner -a decades-long annual tradition meant to bring governors from both parties together to build bonds and celebrate a shared service to our citizens with the President of the United States. My peers, both Democrats and Republicans, selected me to serve as the Vice Chair of the NGA, another reason why it's hard not tosee this decision as another example of blatant disrespect and a snub to the spirit of bipartisan federal-state partnership.
"As the nation's only Black governor, I can't ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight -whether that was the intent or not.
"What makes it especially confounding is that just weeks ago I was at the White House with a bipartisan group of governors, working with the administration on reforms to lower energy costs and strengthen grid reliability. We proved in that moment what's possible when we stay focused on outcomes over politics.
"As Governor of Maryland and Vice Chair of the NGA, my approach will never change: I'm ready to work with the administration anywhere we can deliver results. Yet, I promised the people of my state I will work with anybody but will bow down to nobody. And I guess the President doesn't like that."

Tennessee State Fire Marshal's Office Expands Free Lifesaving "Get Alarmed, Tennessee!" Smoke Alarm Program to Include Carbon Monoxide Detectors in 2026

NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Feb. 7 -- The Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance issued the following news on Feb. 6, 2026:

Tennessee State Fire Marshal's Office Expands Free Lifesaving "Get Alarmed, Tennessee!" Smoke Alarm Program to Include Carbon Monoxide Detectors in 2026
The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) and the Tennessee State Fire Marshal's Office (SFMO) announce the expansion of the lifesaving "Get Alarmed, Tennessee!" free smoke alarm program to include carbon monoxide detectors.
Begun in 2012, "Get Alarmed, Tennessee!" is a grant-funded fire safety educationand smoke alarm installation program administered by the SFMO. To date, more than 342,000 smoke alarms have been distributed through "Get Alarmed" to Tennessee fire departments and over 295,000 have been installed. Most importantly, 524 people have been saved by alerts from smoke alarms installed through this program.
In 2025, the SFMO began providing carbon monoxide (CO) alarms to fire departments as the detectors became available and started the process of acquiring more CO detectors via a federal grant. The SFMO is now in possession of a new supply of smoke alarms and CO detectors and wants to further support Tennesseans in the wake of Winter Storm Fern.
"During Winter Storm Fern, people turned to alternative power and heating sources in order to stay warm and, tragically, that led to CO-related illnesses and fatalities," said TDCI Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Carter Lawrence. "I offer my condolences to the people who lost their loved ones to CO poisoning during this tragic event. Looking ahead, our team stands ready to help prevent future home fire and CO fatalities. We have supplied the Metro Nashville Fire Department with over 400 CO alarms for installation in homes where Nashville residents are still using gas-powered generators. In the wake of the severe winter weather, I encourage Tennesseans to check their homes' CO detectors and smoke alarms in order to ensure they are working properly and can avoid any additional tragic losses of life."
An odorless, colorless gas, CO is created when natural fuels used in household items such as heaters or gas-powered generators burn incompletely. After severe storms such as Winter Storm Fern occur, generators are frequently used to provide power if a home or business's electrical system or power supply has been damaged or destroyed. Exposure to CO can cause loss of consciousness, illness, or even death.
Through "Get Alarmed, Tennessee", fire safety educational materials as well as 10-year sealed battery smoke alarms, bed-shakers for the deaf and hearing impaired, and CO detectors are distributed to participating fire departments who then deliver the educational materials and install the alarms.
"Citizens who need working CO detectors and smoke alarms should contact their local fire departments and ask if they participate in the program," said Assistant Commissioner for Fire Prevention Mike Bell. "Additionally, Tennesseans who meet the requirements for receiving an alarm or detector can make a request via our website. Once we receive the request, we will notify the appropriate fire department about the request."

MassDEP Cracks Down on Illegal Mattress Dumping in Mattapan
Hidden Surveillance Camera Captures Numerous Incidents of Mattresses Being Dumped in Boston Neighborhood
*
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) has assessed a $17,400 penalty to Geraghty Associates, Inc., which owns and manages hundreds of apartment units in the Boston area, for violating solid waste disposal regulations.
MassDEP's Environmental Strike Forcedeployed camera surveillance along Livermore Street in Mattapan, where mattresses had been illegally dumped. The Strike Force placed the cameras after learning from the City of Boston's Department of Public Works that it had recovered and disposed of approximately 150 mattresses from the same area on Livermore Street over the past year. The cameras captured multiple vehicles, registered to Geraghty Associates, dumping mattresses on adjacent City-owned property on at least three separate occasions.
"We appreciate the efforts of the City of Boston and Mattapan residents in reporting this illegal dumping," said MassDEP Commissioner Bonnie Heiple. "When communities and local and state governments work together to address environmental harms, we get cleaner and safer streets for residents."
Among the agreed terms of the administrative consent order, Geraghty Associates must conduct a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) to clean up the area and pay for the collection, transportation and disposal of mattresses and solid waste collected from the site once a month for a period of eleven months.
MassDEP's Environmental Strike Force operates a hidden-camera surveillance program in conjunction with local police and public works departments to deter illegal dumping, protect the environment, and improve the quality of life in communities across Massachusetts. To report environmental violations to the Environmental Strike Force, visit our webpage. Or visit our website to learn more about the waste ban on mattresses and how and where to recycle your mattress.

Healey-Driscoll Administration Awards $3.6 Million to Support Implementation of Revised Time-Out Regulations
EVERETT - The Healey-Driscoll Administration today announced $3.6 million in competitive grant awards to 78 school districts, charter schools, collaboratives, and approved special education schools. The grants will help schools implement strategies and interventions aligned with the administration's revised regulations that the Boardof Elementary and Secondary Education adopted in June, and will also support the appropriate use of time-out practices statewide. Time-out is a behavioral support strategy used in schools to help students calm, and some schools use specific rooms for this purpose.
Districts and schools will be able to train staff in de-escalation strategies, positive behavior interventions, trauma-informed teaching and alternatives to the use of time-out rooms. Grantees will also be empowered to use restorative practices to build positive relationships, resolve conflicts, and build students' sense of belonging. Ultimately, these efforts are aimed at reducing the use of time-out rooms, increasing students' access to the classroom, improving students' self-regulation, improving school climate, and enhancing collaboration among educators, families and community partners.
"This funding will help educators reduce the use of time-out rooms and to use student-centered behavioral support strategies that promote belonging and inclusion," said Education Secretary Dr. Patrick Tutwiler.
"While these regulatory updates have been under development for some time, we know that meaningful change requires investment," said Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Pedro Martinez. "These grants are designed to help districts strengthen behavioral supports, build staff capacity and implement the revised regulations in ways that lead to better outcomes for students."
The revised regulations updated the definition of seclusion and time-out, added requirements for any room or area that is used for time-out, added emergency circumstances under which a form of seclusion in which a staff member is immediately available to the student may be used as a last resort, and added safeguards for the use of emergency seclusion.
The grant is designed to help recipients align local practices with state regulations; strengthen data collection, oversight and reporting; and reduce schools' reliance on time-out rooms.

Arizona Senate Republicans Co-Champion New Election Integrity Law
Senate Republicans are celebrating a new election integrity law that locks in clear election rules, protects military voters serving overseas, and reinforces transparency at polling locations statewide.
The measure signed into law today, HB 2022, is the House mirror of SB 1425, legislation advanced by Senate Judiciary & Elections Chair Wendy Rogers and carried in the House by Representative Alex Kolodin.Together, the bills reflect a unified Republican effort to strengthen Arizona's election laws and provide certainty heading into the 2026 election cycle.
This new law now moves Arizona's primary election from August 4 to July 21, a two-week shift that resolves timing conflicts affecting overseas military voters and ensuring ballots are mailed on time. It also clearly requires authorized political party observers to be allowed at voting locations, including early and emergency voting sites, reinforcing transparency and public confidence in the process.
"This was a unified Republican effort leading the way from start to finish," said Senator Rogers. "By working together across chambers, we delivered a commonsense election bill that protects military voters, brings clarity to our election calendar, and strengthens transparency for Arizona voters. This is how the process should work."
SB 1425 passed the Senate this past Thursday, before advancing as its mirror, HB 2022, in the House, ensuring the policy moved forward efficiently and without delay.
This legislation took effect today and will be implemented for this 2026 election cycle.
