STATE HOUSE — Cape Wind's long-running quest to establish a wind farm on the Nantucket Sound hit another hitch Tuesday as a three-judge federal Appeals Court panel reversed lower court decisions that had found regulators complied with environmental and endangered species laws in permitting the project.
Cape Wind celebrated that the higher court had not made more rulings against it and the developer's vice president of regulatory affairs, Dennis Duffy, said the decision would not be appealed. Duffy said Cape Wind would return to the federal regulatory processes the Appeals Court deemed were insufficient.
STATE HOUSE — A group of senators plans to travel in the fall to explore strategies used by other states to keep health care costs in check, Senate President Stanley Rosenberg said Tuesday.
The plan is in its early stages, with the destinations and the roster of lawmakers who will attend not yet finalized, a Rosenberg spokesman told the News Service.
