STATE HOUSE — Logan International Airport workers rallied outside the State House to push for a $15 an hour minimum wage, after calling off a strike Wednesday morning in the wake of the terrorist bombing at the airport in Brussels on Tuesday.
Led by Massachusetts-32BJ SEIU, a union with 18,000 members in the Bay State, the workers sought to drum up support for legislation from Sen. Sal DiDomenico and Rep. Adrian Madaro (H 3923 / S 2125) that would phase in the minimum wage increase over three years, taking it to $12 this year, $13.50 next year and to $15 in 2018.
March into the Seaport World Trade Center seeking inspiration and you'll walk out of the Boston Flower and Garden Show sown with enough ideas to fill an April wheel barrel. Anyone who longs for a glimpse of what earthy delights lie just weeks ahead will be treated to a chorus of color shouting the spirit of spring now through March 20th as they visit this annual harbinger of the growing season.
The exhibition begins with a wave of blue hyacinths streaming around white tulips flirting with a patch of flashy purple primrose. Ceramic planters of cobalt burst with daffodils, pansies and azaleas snuggling into a spot where ivy spills beside a softly splashing pool and contemplative sanctuary.
