To Lower or Not to Lower… Part 2

Another Massachusetts initiative is making its way to the ballot this Fall, and it involves a petition to lower the state’s income tax from 5% to 4%. What are the pros and cons of this proposal? Those in favor of the initiative say it will put $1,300 (on average) back in the pockets of working families across the Commonwealth, while those who oppose the initiative fear that by reducing the state tax revenue, it would force cuts to local aid and public services and cause teachers, police officers, and firefighters to be laid off. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boston’s Snowstorm Response

In the wake of New England's massive snowstorm, there has been pushback from Boston residents about the city's snow removal response.

The Cold Case of Molly Bish

On the morning of June 27, 2000, 16-year-old Molly Bish disappeared from Comins Pond in Warren, Massachusetts, shortly after her mother had dropped her off at her summer lifeguard job.

While the cause of death could not be established because of the body's decomposition, investigators believe that Bish was murdered.

Shoveling & Plow Etiquette

Since last weekend’s major snowstorm in New England, there has been a lot of chatter on various community forums about plowing practices and shoveling etiquette. For example, we’ve seen some local residents complaining about having to shovel and clear their driveway after every time a plow comes down their street dumping or pushing snow onto their driveway. Is that an occurrence to which you can relate? Or how about shoveling out a parking spot for yourself only to have a neighbor steal it?
