More than 80 Massachusetts pastors have announced opposition to an assisted suicide bill on Beacon Hill, hoping to stop it from passing before the current formal portion of the current legislative session is scheduled to run out at the end of the week.
The pastors, nearly three quarters of whom are Latino, have released a letter formally addressed to state Representative Stephan Hay (D-Fitchburg) against a bill he co-sponsored (H.4782) to legalize physician-assisted suicide in the state.
School will start at least two weeks later than usual in Vermont this year.
Governor Phil Scott plans to sign an executive order later this week stating that schools will not be going back to school until at least Tuesday, September 8, providing school districts extra time to make the proper arrangements amid the coronavirus pandemic, as WCAX-TV Channel 3 in Burlington, Vermont reports.
