One Rhode Island group is hoping to decrease suicides by making infrastructure improvements.
Bryan Ganley and Melissa Cotta formed Bridging the Gap for Safety and Healing four years ago. Now, they want to add suicide prevention and pedestrian barriers to major bridges in the Ocean State, according to WJAR.
Massachusetts voters shot it down 25 years ago, but some Democrats in the Massachusetts Legislature want rent control back.
A legislative committee on Beacon Hill plans to consider a bill on Tuesday, January 14 that would once again legalize rent control in the state. Called "An Act Enabling Local Options for Tenant Protections," Massachusetts House Bill 3924 is chiefly sponsored by state Representatives Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge) and Nika C. Elugardo (D-Boston), members of the Legislature's Progressive Caucus.
