BOSTON – Former Massachusetts Republican Gov. Bill Weld, the Libertarian Party's vice presidential nominee, supports a move to make retail sales of marijuana legal in the Bay State, according to a public interview he gave Tuesday night.
Weld, known for cracking down mercilessly on crime during his time as the U.S. attorney for Massachusetts in the 1980s, said he would back a November ballot question to legalize pot sales in the conversation with CommonWealth Magazine Editor Bruce Mohl. The session took place at Weld's former ML Strategies office in downtown Boston.
BOSTON – A series of leaked emails may shed more light on the intentions and strategies of a group of parents who seek dramatic changes at the prestigious Boston Latin School.
The informal organization, which calls itself Parents Promoting Equity and Diversity, planned a June 16 meeting with top district administrators, according to a recent batch of emails. The group already has held a series of meetings, and the emails show members have discussed how to reach out to the media about the situation at the city exam school.
