A 1998 Dartmouth College graduate is cutting all ties with the school, including as vice president of the Dartmouth Association of Latinx Alumni, because he is fed up with what he describes as the college's inadequate response to his calls for protecting students who are illegal immigrants.
Unai Montes-Irueste and other Latino activists have called for Dartmouth to declare itself a "sanctuary campus," to declare a safe zone against Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol agents, and to free illegal aliens at the school from having to pay for their education since they may have trouble getting a job once they leave the college.
BOSTON — A series of proposed changes to state campaign finance regulations has organizations like the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance concerned that the public disclosure of those donating to nonprofits could happen seemingly overnight, with state statutes changing despite the Legislature not lifting so much as a finger.
Paul Craney, who heads the conservative-leaning Beacon Hill spending watchdog, spoke out against the proposals during a hearing held at the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance on Tuesday morning. Following the hearing, Craney told New Boston Post that his concern is that campaign finance agency could abruptly change the rules and commence a repeat of what happened in 1988 — the year a loophole was enacted allowing even out-of-state unions to donate up to $15,000 to political candidates while banning business donations and capping individual donations at $1,000.
