A Massachusetts mayor created an opportunity for corruption with pot

For someone looking to extort marijuana vendors vying for prime business opportunities, becoming a mayor in Massachusetts could be the thing to do. Absolute power over the local marijuana market, prosecutors now allege, presented itself as a possible cash cow to Jasiel Correia II, who was the youngest person to win the mayorship in the city of Fall River s history. Correia is charged with 24 federal crimes that include alleged extortion of more than $600,000 from marijuana vendors seeking to set up shop in Fall River between 2016 and 2018 a pay-to-play scheme.  Correia alone possessed the power to issue non-opposition letters and sign host community agreements based upon locally established processes for granting approval to marijuana companies, as state law allows.

COVID vaccine for out-of-state college students in NH VT MA RI CT ME

After COVID, another crisis: Medical waste from PPE, shots, testing

The very materials protecting us from COVID-19 infection over the last year could ultimately cause long-term harm to public health and the planet. Growing quietly in the background amid the chaos to respond to and contain the virus is the issue of medical waste – and its sheer volume – generated by the pandemic.  A year after the virus hit the U.S., more than 390 million COVID-19 tests have been given. That s 390 million swabs, plus their packaging.  In the country s more than 6,000 hospitals, healthcare workers have gone through multiple masks, gloves and protective gowns each day.  Since mid-December, the U.S. has administered more than 167 million coronavirus vaccine doses, with each individual dose coming with a needle and syringe, and multiple doses coming with vials and packaging.
