Thursday, February 22, 2024 is the 292nd anniversary of the birth of George Washington.
Known as the Father of His Country, Washington (1732-1799) led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolution and later served as the first president of the United States of America, lending stability and credibility to the new federal government.
A nominee for the state's highest court got only one question about being the former romantic partner of Governor Maura Healey during a hearing before the Massachusetts Governor's Council on Wednesday.
No one directly asked Gabrielle Wolohojian, 63, who has been a member of the Massachusetts Appeals Court for 16 years, about her long domestic partnership with the governor. Two mentioned what they called the "optics" of the nomination.
