A special election has been scheduled to fill the central Massachusetts state representative seat Peter Durant (R-Spencer) vacated after he won a special election in November to become a state senator.
The party primaries are scheduled for February 6, 2024 and the special election is scheduled for March 5, 2024, according to State House News Service.
The state government will block state funding for public schools, roads, and other items for towns and cities that don't create at least one zoning district that allows multi-family housing as a matter of right, Governor Maura Healey said Thursday.
Healey, a Democrat, called housing affordability "the greatest issue facing our state" during an appearance Thursday, December 7 on Radio Boston on WBUR.
