Coverage on this page takes in Boston city hall and the Suffolk County government, Boston Public Schools and the education, health care and financial employers that anchor one of the Northeast's major economies. From Back Bay and Beacon Hill to the North End, South Boston and Fenway, neighborhood reporting runs through the city and extends into Middlesex County, Norfolk County, Essex County and Plymouth County where a story crosses the line. The Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins and Boston Red Sox each generate arena, contract and public investment decisions that land regularly on the city and state government agendas. Housing costs in one of the country's most expensive metropolitan areas and the politics of new residential development in a dense, historic city are the structural subjects that dominate more local government coverage than any other single issue.
