Massachusetts Question 5 would be good for illegal immigrants, according to the organization leading the effort to make it law.
One Fair Wage, an organization that seeks to end the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers nationwide, led the effort to get Question 5 on the state's general election ballot.
Longtime Massachusetts state Representative Susan Williams Gifford (R-Wareham) died Tuesday of cancer, according to a press release from her campaign team.
"Throughout her more than two decades of service as both a State Representative and Selectman, Susan always followed her promise to 'Put People First,' advocating for our seniors, veterans, and local fishermen and cranberry growers," the release said Wednesday morning. "She worked to deliver the first tax cuts to the Commonwealth in over 20 years and worked hard to make Massachusetts more affordable for all."
