Cambridge city councilors are considering a resolution expressing support for students at Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who are protesting Israel's invasion of Gaza by living in tents on the campuses.
Supporters of the resolution note that the protests on the Cambridge campuses have been peaceful so far, and they say they are supporting free speech. Several city councilors also say they support the substance of the students' protest.
Massachusetts House Speaker Ronald Mariano on Tuesday condemned the actions of a freshman Cape Cod lawmaker, after regulators found that state Representative Christopher Flanagan violated state campaign finance law and subsequently lied about it to officials.
