BOSTON — The Massachusetts secretary of public safety renewed the Baker administration's effort to increase the penalty for assaulting a police officer, pressing lawmakers on Tuesday to elevate the crime to a felony charge.
A lawsuit challenging New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner's authority to release the state's voter information to the Trump administration stalled Tuesday after the American Civil Liberties Union requested the hearing be postponed.
The ACLU issued a statement announcing its "request for a preliminary injunction is, at this juncture, no longer necessary" in response to Gardner's announcement that he would refrain from releasing the voter information in compliance with the fraud commission's request.
