STATE HOUSE — Forty-three miles and four days after they set out on a march from Medway, hundreds of activists filled the State House Monday morning, chanting, "Stop the pipeline or the people will."
The "People Over Pipelines" march took the demonstrators through communities including Norfolk, Walpole, Sharon, Stoughton, Canton and Weymouth, places that would be affected by a proposed Spectra Energy pipeline.
STATE HOUSE — Opponents of the transgender public accommodations bill that Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law just over a week ago announced Monday they have launched a referendum initiative to repeal the law in 2018.
Led by the Massachusetts Family Institute, which largely organized the opposition to the bill, 21 people on Monday filed a referendum petition with the Secretary of State's office to initiate the repeal process for 2018. The bill became law too late for the repeal effort to make it onto the 2016 ballot.
