Revitalizing local democracy through charter reform

Revitalizing local democracy through charter reform By William C. Shelton Last Thursday the Charter Review Committee conducted its first meeting. Its purpose is to design a new governing document – a new government, really – that will enable the City to be responsive to residents and to effectively meet the challenges of this historical moment. Such an effort is overdue by over a century. Our current charter dates to 1899. It mandates two Fence Viewers, a Wood and Bark Measurer, and a Grain Weigher. It also invests overwhelming authority to govern in the mayor. Just twelve years after the current charter’s adoption the city’s leaders recognized their error. The Board of Aldermen approved a new charter that specified a commission form of government, a forerunner of today’s council/manager form. The Mayor signed it, but it languished and then died in the Legislature in 1914.

New App Will Tell You If You Were Exposed To COVID-19

Apr 5, 2021 SOMERVILLE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) A new smartphone app created by the state will let you know if you ve been exposed to COVID-19. The app, called MassNotify, will let users opt-in to a system that will tell them if they were around a person who tested positive. Each user downloads the app on their phone, and enables Bluetooth, which reaches out to other phones that have the app in the user s area. The app was developed in partnership with Google and Apple, and is available on Android and iPhone. When someone tests positive, they anonymously let the system know, and the app warns people who may have been in close proximity.

Massachusetts Mayors Diverge On In-Person Learning Timeline

Feb 24, 2021 BOSTON ( WBZ NewsRadio) The state s plan to phase out remote learning by the spring is getting mixed reactions from some of Massachusetts mayors. Massachusetts Education Commissioner Jeffrey Riley announced on Tuesday that the department aims to start with younger groups, planning to have all elementary school students back in the classroom five days a week by April. The Massachusetts Teacher s Association spoke out against the announcement, saying that the move shows callous disregard for school staff and students. Governor Charlie Baker and Education Commissioner Jeffrey Riley should go back to the drawing board, MTA President Merrie Najimy said in a statement. This time they must actually talk to the educators, educators’ unions, parents, school committee members and other community leaders most impacted by their surprise and unwelcome announcement, which seems timed largely to distract public attention from the administration’s failed vaccine rollo
