Cambridge Public Library is set to host a "Family Pride Concert" with Carrie Ferguson, "a queer and gender nonconforming artist," in mid-June.
The library describes the event as "offering children and families welcoming and inclusive messages about accepting feelings, celebrating differences and loving themselves exactly as they are."
The Republican minority leader of the Massachusetts House of Representatives says Massachusetts should lower taxes in response to the rapid rate at which residents are departing for other states.
" 'Tax the rich' is a popular refrain in some political quarters. Unfortunately for Massachusetts, a lot of people being hit with these new taxes are not rich. But they are mobile. And they are fleeing Massachusetts in droves to states that won't treat them like an ATM," writes state Representative Bradley H. Jones Jr. (R-North Reading) in an op-ed column for The Boston Globe, along with co-author Ross Connolly, regional director for New England at Americans for Prosperity.
