Droughts have become more frequent in recent years, and advocates and some lawmakers are seeking to give the governor's administration the power to require regional water conservation during a declared drought.

The bill (H 1003 / S 586) would give the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs the authority to restrict outdoor watering. Water use for agriculture or businesses would be exempted.

"I think now is the time, especially as we've seen record drought facing us year after year after year, now is the time we really have the opportunity to make this case," said Rep. Joan Meschino of Hull.

Similar legislation received a favorable report from the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources last year, and died in the Senate Ways and Means Committee.

"Our current approach to drought management is a confusing patchwork of conservation measures that have limited impact. One municipality may impose stringent water measures while its neighbor may require minimal water conservation, even though both withdraw water from the same struggling basin," according to a fact sheet about the bill.

Meschino said the water conservation measures are important for "resilience," "biodiversity," and "climate mitigation." Drought extends and intensifies wildfire season and affect agriculture; river herring struggle in low stream flows and there can be fish kills during droughts, hurting commercial and recreational spaces; and cranberry bogs are particularly at risk of failure during a drought, according to the Massachusetts River Alliance.

Watershed groups lobbied at the State House Thursday for a variety of bills, with organizers calling the advocacy effort "especially important" because they are expecting Healey to soon unveil an environmental bond bill authorizing billions of dollars for state environmental efforts over the next five years.

"On the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, we will gather in small dispersed groups for visibility with friends and neighbors."

Way to represent, Plymouth!
Fuck Trump. Fuck DOGE.

Anybody know what ice cream shops in the Boston area sell sweet corn flavor? Tipping cow in Somerville used to, but they closed.

South of Boston. Just built a kart with my daughter and looking for places we can use it. It’s got off-road tires so could handle trails. I know ATVs are kinda shunned around here but wondering about karts.

I have a 2 bedroom apartment for rent. A potential tenant has a section 8 voucher for up to $2,000 but they only qualify for a one bedroom. Will section 8 still pay for a 2 bedroom if I rent it to her for $2,000?

I went into Boston on the commuter rail from Brockton. I doubted anyone from that terminal was heading in for the demonstration, and when I entered the train, I sat in the area by an entrance. I did not see anyone else for the most part until the train was pulling into South Station where I was pleasantly surprised at the number of people disembarking carrying signs. The later commuter trains heading back must have been packed.

I was not fully aware of how the demonstration was going to proceed (blaming several insomniac nights), and I am not fond of crowds (I had circled around the crowd for the most part), so I did not follow everyone to Government Center. I instead headed for home, where I promptly conked out on the couch for a few hours.

I wasn't close enough to see what happened, but traffic was at a complete standstill for a while and I saw smoke coming from the scene of the accident.

It was in the Newton area right after the I-90/I-95 interchange.

Would hate to become a victim of Identity Theft and probably nobody at this time that can afford to fix this mess.

i’m moving from out of state to massachusetts and my employer is providing health insurance, covering 50% of the cost through tufts direct gold. can anyone tell me how the coverage is? is it worth the 200+ a month? can i get a lot of coverage / see specialists like the dermatologist without jumping through hoops with referrals? is it a good health insurance in MA or are there better options that would make sense for me to pay out of pocket

Have you ever had these? They are the best !!! Glaze minis with a smear of chocolate icing and a little custard in the middle!

I say like 20% of dunks have these munchkins . What’s up with dat?

1. What are the main pros and cons of the different programs?
2. If you got your employer to pay for it, which one would you pick?
3. If you did not get your employer to pay for it, which one would you pick?
4. What are some example careers/companies in Massachusetts that the degree helps for/leads to that do not require top secret clearance?

'um if you are doing it online, then why do you care about it being in Massachusetts?' - to go to the physical career fairs / networking events etc

'then why do you care about doing it online at all' - to do it while working a full time job

Just one of the few protests on Cape Cod. So very heartwarming to see. Don’t mind my cheering and honking in the background.
