Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has been too hesitant to try to force people to get the coronavirus vaccine and wear masks, a former mayor of Worcester said.
"We've waited patiently, hoping to convince the unvaccinated to step up. We tried gifts, scholarships, and cash. We said 'please' and then 'pretty please.' We appealed to their patriotism. And still millions of Americans refuse to get vaccinated or wear masks," wrote Raymond Mariano, in a column for the Worcester Telegram & Gazette published Friday, August 27.
Just because some women who have an abortion may ask the city of Boston for paid leave doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with abortion, a Boston city councilor said recently.
Lydia Edwards, a city councilor who supports expanding paid leave benefits for city employees to include women who have abortions, said she has heard rumblings from people who support legal abortion.
