Review & Decisions

Mass. Senate came out with a public records reform bill (S.2120, S.1257) that is better than the awful House version. Bay State Examiner has a good review in the Weekly Dig.

On Thursday, the 4th at 10am, the Body Cameras bill (H.2170) will have its State House hearing in room B-1 - We support it.
