(undated) — Governor Baker’s vaccine mandate for executive branch employees could mean fewer state police officers in the system. The union representing Massachusetts State Troopers says a number of its members have filed resignation paperwork after a Superior Court Judge last week denied the union’s request for an injunction to prevent Baker’s policy from taking effect. Baker has ordered all executive department employees to show proof of COVID 19 vaccination by mid October or face possible disciplinary action including termination.
