Quotes

"Lt. Gov. Murray has been a true friend to me, the CityCity of Springfield and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. His departure will leave a hole in the administration that will not be filled easily. As a former Mayor he understands the needs and pressures that municipalities face, and he worked hard as our champion in state government.

I wish nothing but the best of luck to him and his family as they begin a new chapter in their lives."
