In his quest to be elected to the U.S. Senate, Democratic U.S. Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III is not taking a dime of corporate political action committee money. Previously, that was not the case.
Kennedy (D-Newton), who represents Massachusetts's Fourth Congressional District, has received a significant amount of corporate PAC donations over the years. That includes a $2,500 contribution from The GEO Group Inc. on June 1, 2012, according to Federal Election Commission campaign filings. That donation came during Kennedy's first campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives.
Although Saint Jerome School in Weymouth is scheduled to close for good at the end of this school year, some still hope that the Archdiocese of Boston reverses that decision — including the school's former principal.
Kathy Puleo, who worked at the elementary school for 41 years and served as its principal for seven — up until the end of the 2017-2018 school year — says there's no good reason to close, since the school has enough money to operate.
