BOSTON – A Boston Latin School student's mother, who has joined a rising chorus demanding the dismissal of Headmaster Lynn Mooney Teta over her response to alleged racial incidents, sang a much different tune last October about the elite institution.
The mother, Lori Smith Britton, told the Boston Globe in an explosive front page story Wednesday that "the inaction of the people in power" – Teta and other administrators – means they should "face consequences that are tangible."
A special Senate committee formed to study the possible impacts of legalizing marijuana in Massachusetts is poised to release its findings next week.
Senate President Stanley Rosenberg, Sen. Jason Lewis and members of the Special Committee on Marijuana will unveil the report at a press conference scheduled for Tuesday. Lewis, a Winchester Democrat, chaired the committee and led seven of his colleagues on a fact-finding mission to Colorado in January to study the impact legalization had on that state to better understand what challenges Massachusetts could face.
