BOSTON — Attorney General Maura Healey on Wednesday declined to certify 10 petitions for ballot measures, meaning voters will not have the opportunity in 2016 to weigh in on matters such as legalizing and regulating the purchase of fireworks and subjecting the state Legislature to open meeting laws.
There is still a chance, however, that voters will have a chance to decide whether to lift the cap on the number of charter schools, legalize marijuana use or amend the state constitution to say that public funding of abortions is not constitutionally required.
