Boston — Governor Maura Healey issued the following statement after a Trump Administration official suggested a federal takeover of South Station, which is owned by the MBTA:

“What the Trump Administration is doing in DC and now threatening to do at South Station is outrageous, wrong and has nothing to do with transportation or public safety. It’s more political theater, more political power grabs from Donald Trump. We don’t need or want his interference here. We’re not going to let the guy who went bankrupt six times take over our train stations.”
