An Attleboro city councilor running for state representative took a $1,000 campaign donation from the chief executive officer of a medical marijuana facility who sought her help in getting a zoning dispute resolved by the Attleboro Municipal Council.
Julie Hall, a Republican, told The Sun Chronicle of Attleboro that she doesn't see the donation as a reward for the special permit that the marijuana facility got from the city council she serves on.
Harvard Divinity School has received a $25 million donation to renovate its main campus building.
Investor James R. Swartz, who graduated from Harvard College in 1964, and his wife, impressionist painter and philanthropist Susan S. Swartz, donated the money, the largest gift the nondenominational graduate school of theology has received since it was founded in 1816, according to The Harvard Crimson, the college's student newspaper.
