Gun owners who oppose a firearms law enacted in Massachusetts last month hope to persuade the state's voters to repeal it in November 2026.
Jim Wallace, executive director of Gun Owners' Action League, said his organization has filed a petition seeking a referendum on the law, which is the first step to getting it on the ballot.
Steward Health Care chief exeuctive officer Ralph de la Torre was on vacation two weeks ago when his company revealed that it planned to close two hospitals in Massachusetts, but he didn't have a hand in the decision or any say in the timing of the announcement, a spokesman for the embattled executive said Thursday.
