Treasurer Ted Goldberg addressed the commission near the midpoint of the final meeting and offered the offices of the Commonwealth as a partner in implementing the report’s recommendations.
Goldberg recounted family experiences with antisemitism and said those personal histories informed his support for structural steps to reduce bias. He told the commission the report provides a ‘‘thoughtful and actionable road map’’ and urged agencies to coordinate on a statewide bias reporting program for K–12 schools, stronger law‑enforcement coordination with civil society and broader anti‑discrimination training that incorporates antisemitism.
"The report lays out clear and consistent policies that address antisemitism and what at a minimum we can do here in Massachusetts," Goldberg said. He also encouraged commissioners and staff to treat the report as a beginning of an implementation phase and offered Treasury resources and partnership as the recommendations are operationalized.
Commissioners thanked Goldberg for his remarks and several described his testimony as personally moving; members also emphasized that agency coordination and clear data practices (including anonymization for public reporting where appropriate) will be essential to carry out the recommendations the commission adopted earlier in the meeting.
Goldberg’s remarks did not introduce new statutory proposals but underscored executive-branch willingness to participate in implementation work the commission recommended to the Legislature.
