BOSTON – It turns out the new Boston Public Library president has been doing the job for almost a year, taking over long before first choice Jill Bourne rejected the post.
Shortly after Bourne, the city librarian in San Jose, California, declined for personal reasons, the Boston Public Library Board of Trustees voted to offer the job to David Leonard. He has served as interim president since July 2015, following the departure of Amy Ryan.
BOSTON (AP) — The parents of a woman who died in a crash involving a duck boat urged state officials on Wednesday to require new safety rules for the amphibious sightseeing vessels.
Ivan and Martha Warmuth joined several lawmakers at the Statehouse to announce the filing of legislation that would prohibit duck boat drivers from simultaneously serving as narrator and tour guide for passengers. The bill would also mandate that the vehicles be equipped with blind-spot cameras and proximity sensors.
