U.S. Senator Ed Markey says he won't vote for the Green New Deal resolution that he's sponsoring when it comes up for a vote on the Senate floor Tuesday.
Instead, he and other Democrats plan to vote "present," as a protest against Republicans who are bringing a vote on the resolution without holding hearings on it first.
Provincetown and Truro at the northern tip of Cape Cod are offering free preschool to try to keep families with children from leaving, because enrollment in the public schools is plummeting.
The two towns plus neighboring Wellfleet together have lost 24 percent of their school-age children during the last 10 years (from 444 to 336), according to The Cape Cod Times.
