Massachusetts governor signs law phasing out toxic PFAS in firefighters’ gear

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed into law a bill that would phase out the use of PFAS, a group of toxic industrial compounds, in firefighters' protective gear. The chemicals—associated with health problems including several types of cancer, such as breast, kidney and testicular cancer—are used in gear to repel water and other substances when fighting a fire. Connecticut is the only other state with a similar law regarding firefighters' protective gear. "It's one thing to run into a fire, you can see the blaze and feel the heat," Healey said moments before signing the bill at the statehouse. But it's another thing, she said, to face the threat of "forever chemicals"—a silent killer that has been threatening the health of firefighters and others for years.  Starting January 2025, under the new law, manufacturers and sellers of personal protective equipment containing PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, will be required to provide written notice to the purchaser at the time of sale that firefighting equipment contains PFAS chemicals. They're also mandated to provide a reason for why the equipment contains PFAS. Beginning in 2027, manufacturers and sellers of personal protective equipment for firefighters will be prohibited from knowingly selling gear containing "intentionally-added PFAS" chemicals—referring to PFAS chemicals or products that break down into PFAS chemicals that are added to the product during manufacturing. The multilayered coats and pants worn by firefighters have become the latest battleground over PFAS, which are found in everything from food packaging to clothing. In 2023, the Environmental Protection Agency for the first time proposed limits on the chemicals in drinking water. Richard MacKinnon, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts, said the new law will help curb occupational cancer. "This is the strongest language in our nation," he said of the new state law. "This next generation of firefighters—their lives will be saved." The International Association of Fire Fighters or IAFF has said that cancer has replaced heart disease as the biggest cause of line-of-duty deaths. Firefighters have been shown to be at higher risk than the general population of getting several types of cancer. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Massachusetts has agreed to provide about $30 million to help support the operations of six hospitals that Steward Health Care is trying to turn over to new owners after declaring bankruptcy earlier this year, according to court filings. The latest update comes as Steward announced in July that it was closing two hospitals—Carney Hospital and Nashoba Valley Medical Center—because it received no qualified bids for either facility. In a court filing, Steward announced it had received a commitment from Massachusetts “to provide approximately $30 million of funding support for the hospitals' operations as they are transitioned to new operators in the near term.” The Dallas-based company also said in the court filing that the company remains steadfast in its goal of doing everything within its power to keep its 31 hospitals open. In May, Steward said it planned to sell off all its hospitals after announcing that it had filed for bankruptcy protection. The company's hospitals are scattered across eight states. The $30 million is meant to ensure that Steward's hospitals in Massachusetts can continue to operate through the end of August, according to Gov. Maura Healey's administration. The funding will help make sure patients can continue to access care and workers can keep their jobs until Carney and Nashoba Valley close and the remaining five hospitals are transitioned to new owners. Carney Hospital is located in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston and Nashoba Valley Medical Center is in Ayer, a town about 45 miles (72 kilometers) west of Boston. The payments are advances on Medicaid funds that the state owes Steward and are being provided contingent upon an orderly movement toward new ownership. The $30 million is also contingent on Steward hitting milestones and cannot be used for rental payments, debt service, or management fees. Healey said “not a dime” of the $30 million will go to Steward but will instead help ensure a smooth transition to new ownership. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

“I believe I can swing it.” This is the story of the Coolidge Administration. Calvin Coolidge isn't the most talkative guy–he's painfully shy, to be frank–but “Silent Cal” does care deeply about public service. Over the years, the thrifty, hard-working New Englander moves up the ranks, from municipal offices to state offices, until, as Massachusetts Governor, he's asked to join Warren G. Harding's run for the White House. When the scandalous, playboy President meets an untimely end, family man Cal suddenly finds himself President of the United States. Cal slashes government spending and taxes while pursuing peace abroad. He also sees terrible heartache with the loss of loved ones. Meanwhile, the nation is debating if evolution should be taught in schools, the Mississippi floods, and the sculpting of Mount Rushmore begins. Cal might not be a hands-on president, but much is happening during his time in office that will reverberate into the years ahead.  ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by offering updates on the situation at the border, playing back a clip from a Massachusetts Governor who was brought to tears when explaining why she'll have to close recreational centers to accommodate an influx of migrants. This leads Dom to tell of multiple occasions where the rights of non-Americans are superseding the rights of Americans, noting the deep impact of progressive policies at the border. Then, Dom tells about a horrific incident including a beheading in Bucks County last night, and argues with Dan over whether conservatives should be on an all-out attack against Taylor Swift. Then, Dom welcomes in former Philadelphia DA Seth Williams back onto the Dom Giordano Program to hear his thoughts on multiple stories unfolding in Philadelphia. First, Dom leads off by asking Williams to take us back to when he was in office, reading back an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer about stop-and-frisk, asking Williams how the paper saw the controversial topic while he was in office. Williams puts on his hat as a law professor, explaining the benefits of stop-and-frisk, also addressing what the Inquirer labels as ‘inherent dangers' of using stop-and-frisk.  (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

Massachusetts Governor Pleading with Homeowners to Take in Illegal Migrants

Massachusetts is currently experiencing a significant challenge as the space available to accommodate recent arrivals from the border begins to fall short. This situation has led the authorities to propose a unique yet controversial solution, asked of its law-abiding homeowners. The state's Governor, Maura Healey, has called upon residents to consider sharing their personal spaces with these new inhabitants, a response necessitated by the severity of the housing crisis. As the only state with a comprehensive 'right to housing' legislation for homeless families, Massachusetts has a unique burden to carry. The situation intensified in August, when a 'state of emergency' was officially declared because of the ongoing influx of new arrivals. With the shelters stretched beyond capacity, there was no option but to explore unconventional approaches. The magnitude of the issue came into sharp focus when it was reported that the number of individuals seeking shelter in the state had exceeded 20,000, which includes many families with children and expectant mothers. Governor Healey saw the dire situation as an opportunity to call for unity, proposing homeowners as the potential solution to house these new arrivals, despite it being a somewhat unorthodox solution. This accommodation crisis has been steadily worsening, peaking in November 2023 when the state's emergency homeless shelter system reached its threshold of 7,500 families. The pressure to find hosts for these families led both Governor Healey and her deputy, Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, to urge residents to consider housing the migrants. Homeowners, they said, could play a crucial role in providing this most basic need. As a part of the short-term solution, the state is temporarily sheltering over 1,400 families in several hotels spread across 28 cities - a measure which is entirely financed by the taxpayer's money and without any charges levied on the new arrivals. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates that these families typically stay for around 14 months, which in many cases is free of charge. While these hotel accommodations are helpful, they are not a long-term solution. As a result, the state is encouraging private sector entities to join the cause. Organizations like the Immigrant Support Alliance are participating, hosting seminars to inform residents about providing shelter to individuals awaiting their legal status determination in their homes. Calls to make private homes a safe haven for these entrants, however, are raising questions about the authorities' intentions. Is the state hoping to position such an arrangement as the new norm? The fact that Massachusetts is the only state with a mandated 'right to housing' policy fuels this speculation. This obligation, though, doesn't extend to individual homeless people. The rising demand for shelter underscores how overextended the existing housing system truly is. Indeed, Massachusetts stands out with its housing obligation mandate, even when compared to other states with similar laws. For instance, New York City only applies this right to emergency shelters, while California's law extends it to homeless teens, regardless of parental consent. The uniqueness of Massachusetts' rule and its consequent financial burden has called into question the sustainability of the 'right to housing' policy. Within one year, Free housing provision went up from 15 families to almost 2,000. Such an astronomical rise led state Representative Peter Durant to question if the sharp increase in housing needs could mostly be attributed to the new arrivals without legal status. The financial repercussions have certainly been felt; in 2023 the state's expenditure on this cause was estimated at $2.6 million, a figure predicted to rise to $10.7 million by the end of 2024. This situation has fueled debates about the feasibility of the current housing law, and if it might be due for reform, given its increasing economic strain. Moreover, there are concerns about how this opens up the door to potential public safety and health risks. Homeowners may lack the necessary information on their guests regarding criminal histories or potential public health hazards. The question of state responsibility for ensuring the safety of its residents is therefore a key point of debate. Questions continue to linger about the limit of Governor Healey's powers. Can she compel homeowners to house those without legal status based on the 'right to housing' law? Transparency regarding the scope of the law and how it applies in this case is urgently needed, but answers remain elusive. With all these questions unanswered, citizens can only wait and watch how things unfold. Will Massachusetts be able to balance its responsibilities towards its residents while simultaneously maintaining the dignity and rights of the new arrivals? This is a multifaceted problem that calls for a multifaceted solution - and it's clear that solving it will require more than just emergency measures. It is a test of resolve, unity, and the strength of the values that Massachusetts stands for.

In this episode we get an overview of the 1988 Presidential election field of candidates. On the republican side the race has 8 candidates but it really is a battle between two:  George H. W. Bush and Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole.  There is also a new rising force that would play a major role in the campaign primaries and continue to do so to this day.  It is the role of Evangelical Christians.  their leader , televangelist Pat Robertson, would turn the Iowa Caucus on its head with a far stronger showing than anyone had predicted and hand Bob Dole the win and the lead finishing second and knocking Bush to third. George H.W. Bush would have to claw his way back into the race in New Hampshire and he would do it with some of the most skillful use of television ever produced. It would be a fight that would lead to an angry eruption from his vanquished foe on primary night. On the Democratic side, we see a little known Massachusetts Governor emerge after helping the early demise of a Senator  who had widely been seen to that point as a rising political star for nearly two decades. Senator Joe Biden had been elected at the age of 29, and had risen in the Senate to Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Michael Dukakis would see to it that it was a short lived campaign for Joe Biden, the first of possibly five Presidential forays the Senator has made on the Presidential level over the past four decades. We will also tune in on the campaign of Jesse Jackson, that really did shatter the race barrier for national elections, that would open the door twenty years later to the election of Barack Obama as President.  It was 1988, a historic campaign year, that showed an entire generation of political consultants the rules to the game, of what to do, and what not to do, in order to win. They have been perfecting it ever since.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

It's definitely a bit of a mistake in terms of trying to capture 2024," Erin O'Brien, associate professor of political science at UMass Boston, told Under the Radar. "But Republicans know, to beat Trump, they're betting down on the idea you have to 'out-Trump' him or 'out-conservative' him, and you're more likely to be able to do that in Iowa." Plus, Republican Senator Mitt Romney announced he will retire at the end of his term, saying it's time for the "next generation" of leaders. The former Massachusetts Governor's remarks re-energized the debate about the age of elected officials. "I don't want to say that any particular individual ... should retire," said Luis Jiménez, director of the international relations major at UMass Boston. "But the question we should be talking about is, why is it that people stay in Congress that long? Why is it that people stay in politics that long? And a big reason why has to do with the way that we're doing politics these days and the power of incumbency, the power of money and so on." And the U.S. Senate has gone “business casual." A change in dress code means one Democratic Senator can officially ditch his suit and tie for a hoodie. Jerold Duquette, professor of political science at Central Connecticut State University, argues "this is sort of a gift in terms of authenticity. These people want conformity. ... Politically, a dress code in the Senate as an issue is to the great advantage of those rebelling against the establishment tie, or whatever the case may be." Those stories and more during our full hour with the Mass Politics Profs.

Combining Private Practice With Public Service: A Conversation With Retired Lawyer and Judge Karen Green

Lawyers wear many hats. Some go into private practice, some into government service, and others represent the poor. Among those who choose courtroom work, some lawyers become prosecutors, some become criminal defense attorneys, and some become civil litigators. And of course, let's not forget lawyers who become law school professors and those who become judges.  Of all the lawyers I've known throughout my long career, few have excelled in as many areas as Karen Green. Coming out of Harvard Law School in the early 1980s, Karen was a rising star in one of Boston's largest and most prestigious law firms, eventually becoming chair of its renowned litigation department and then co-chair of the litigation department of the powerful successor firm that resulted from a law firm merger.  Despite her success at private practice, and influenced by her parents' devotion to public service, Karen felt the pull to do more. So, over the course of her distinguished career, she also has worked as the First Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, became a state court trial judge, served on dozens of non-profit boards and committees, taught law students at her alma mater, and even worked briefly as Chief of Staff for the Massachusetts Governor. Now retired, Karen continues to give back, dedicating significant time to the American Bar Association's Center for Human Rights, and serving as a member of the Rule of Law Leadership Council of the World Justice Project.  I can think of no lawyer who better represents the ideal of what a lawyer can and should be – a contributor to the private bar and business community, and a dedicated public servant. Speaking with Karen for this podcast was an absolute delight for me, and I hope you find her story as inspiring as I do.You can find information about the American Bar Association's Center for Human Rights here, and information about the World Justice Project here.

The statewide poll on Massachusetts residents found just around a quarter of them feel as though the situation around the COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts is better than it was this time last year. The poll also found that unvaccinated people feel the safest doing activities like going to a movie and dining indoors, while people who are the most protected (the vaccinated) feel the least safe doing the same activities. Steve also shares the favorables of each candidate in the race for Massachusetts Governor, showing Attorney General Maura Healey with the highest rate of name recognition, although Healey has yet to officially announce whether she's running. Later, CommonWealth reporter Shira Schoenberg shares the details of her recent article detailing Massachusetts schools' struggles with staffing amidst a devastating COVID surge as schools came back in session this week. Remote schooling is not an option, as the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education ordered last year, so schools are left to either scramble to fill in the staffing gaps or close school down and make up the days in the spring.

In those first few days of his life, I realized that I wasn't going to change anything about Jonathan, but I was going to change the world for him. -Jo Ann Simons She remembers everything getting really quiet in the delivery room just moments after her son Jonathan was born. It was May, 1979 and Jo Ann Simons was 26 years old. Her pregnancy had been textbook…no surprises, until this moment. About 4 hours later, she and her husband heard the words: “your baby has Down syndrome.” At that time, services for families with disabled children were either minimal, or non-existent so Jo Ann Simons decided to change all that. Armed with a Masters in Social Work, she did not see a world that she wanted for her son, so she set out to build one for him and for others with developmental disabilities. If you ask her, she'll tell you: “I didn't choose this career, it chose me”. Now the President & CEO of Northeast Arc, Jo Ann is considered both a trailblazer and a champion to the 15,000 people in 190 communities her organization serves. Northeast Arc is leading the way in innovative ideas designed to help people with developmental disabilities become part of the communities where they live including the creation of a coffee shop called “Breaking Grounds” which serves as a training ground for people with disabilities who are interested in working in the food service industry. A few years ago, Jo Ann launched “Arc Tank” with a 1 million dollar donation and in 2020, she spearheaded her largest project to date: negotiating a lease for 26,000 square feet of highly visible space in the heart of the Liberty Tree Mall which will become the new home of The Linking Lives Center and Northeast Arc. A member of the Massachusetts Governor's Commission on People with Developmental & Intellectual Disabilities and the Autism Commission, Jo Ann lives by the credo: “I want to leave this world a little better than I found it.” Download this inspiring story for a gigantic dose of grit, gratitude and wisdom. #storybehindhersuccess #northeastarc #disabilities

48: So What’s the Big Deal with the Primaries, Anyway?

We’re less than one week away from Super Tuesday!  In today’s episode, Sara and Misasha talk about why the primaries are so important and why your vote matters, especially this election year! They will also cover what the deal is with Super Tuesday, what happened in Iowa and why that matters, and take a look at what the primaries really mean for our Presidential election. Listen and learn during this informative Q&A session laced with Sara and Misasha’s punchy commentary! Show Highlights: Q: When does primary season begin and how long is it? A: Voting began February 3rd with the Iowa caucuses. The last states vote in early June. Primary season lasts approximately 4 months.   Q: Who will I be voting for in the primaries? A: The primaries are the main event. Candidates for the Democratic and Republican 2020 Presidential nominations, but voters will find all manner of down-ballot elections to consider on primary day. Down ballot means everything that is not the Presidential nomination, including house and senate races, and seats on the state legislature.   Q: What’s the difference between primaries and caucuses? A: Primaries are relatively straight-forward. Voters vote and their vote goes to candidates who hope they get more votes than the other candidates. Caucuses, like Iowa, are similar. Generally, supporters for various candidates sit or stand together in groups. A headcount is conducted, and if a candidate doesn’t reach a certain threshold of support, the group is deemed non-viable and its members re-align with other clusters before a final count is made.    Q: Can states actually cancel their primaries? A: Yes, they can and some states did this year. Alaska, Nevada, Kansas, Virginia, Arizona, South Carolina, and Hawaii canceled the Republican primaries only.   Q: Is there a Republican Presidential primary and opponents running against President Trump? A: Yes. In most states, President Trump’s opponents include Joe Walsh, a former Illinois congressman and William F. Weld, a former Massachusetts Governor.   Q: Can you vote in both the Democratic and Republican primary? A: It’s just one vote, per person. In some states with “Closed primaries”, you’ll need to be registered with a given party to participate.   Q: Can Trump be re-elected President even after getting impeached by the House? A: That is his plan. President Trump is the first impeached President ever to seek re-election.   Q: Why do we keep hearing that Iowa is so important? A: Iowa goes first and has since the 1970s. There’s really no great reason why Iowa goes first, although some of the Vietnam war protests and racial tensions of the 1968 Democratic convention helped set the stage.    Q: What is Super Tuesday? A: Super Tuesday is March 3rd, and is the single most important day on the primary calendar because of how many major states will be holding their elections, including two very large states, California and Texas. About 40% of all pledged Democratic delegates will be awarded in these states. Misasha goes into greater detail here about how the delegate fight gets more serious!   Q: When did Super Tuesday become a thing? A: Voting on that day of the week is an old tradition in the United States, but it wasn’t until the 1976 election that was credited with leading to the first recorded usage of that particular phrase. Sara shares the backstory of the when and the why!   Q: How does someone win the Democratic nomination? A:  A candidate hoping to win on the first ballot at the convention must secure a majority of pledged delegates, as dictated by the outcomes in state primaries and caucuses. In total, there are just under 4,000 pledged delegates up for grabs, as well as hundreds of super delegates, though the party prefers to call them “automatic” delegates. The official nomination will take place at the party’s convention in Milwaukee this summer.   Q: What are delegates? A: There are two different types. Delegates, “the people”, are like political figures: activists and local leaders chosen to represent their states at the party’s convention. Delegates, “the numbers”, are the all-purpose metric of primary success. They are allocated proportionately according to the state voting results and their population.   Q: What are super delegates? Didn’t they get rid of those? A: Democratic super delegates are political insiders. They can be sitting lawmakers to former senior party officials whose primary choices can be divorced entirely from the preference of the average voter. Super delegates can vote as they choose and their very existence in 2016 became a source of major tension in the race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. While Mrs. Clinton bested Mr. Sanders among pledged delegates in 2016, Mr. Sanders and his supporters saw the super delegates system as an affront to the democratic process. In response, the Democratic National Committee has sharply reduced the influence of super delegates, effectively preventing them from participating in a substantial way in the first ballot of a Presidential nominee process.     Q: Are there any history makers in the Presidential election? A: Mrs. Warren, Mrs. Klobuchar, or Representative Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii would be the first woman elected President. Mr. Buttigieg would be the first openly-gay President to hold the office, and Mr. Sanders or Mr. Bloomberg would be the first Jewish President elected. A few of them would also be the oldest President ever inaugurated for a first term.   Q: Which party has done better at fund-raising so far? A: Trump entered 2020 with more than 100 million dollars in cash on hand, and he outpaced every Democrat with 46 million in the 4th quarter of 2019. But, contenders for the Democratic nomination have accusatively surpassed Trump’s totals, suggesting pretty good enthusiasm.   Q: Does my vote in the primaries matter? A: YES!! Although the piecemeal nature of the state-by-state calendar might make the process seem less exciting, the primaries really do resolve the nontrivial matter of choosing major party nominees and also all of the down-ballot stuff.   Q: Is it ok for me to skip voting in the primaries and just vote in the general election? A: It’s allowed, of course. But the down-ballot primaries will be of significant consequence locally in many states and those are the feeder systems for our future. So it’s incredibly important to vote, especially all the way down the ballot and not just in the main event.   Q: Do I need to be registered to vote in the primaries? A: Yes! 49 states require voter registration. North Dakota is the only state that does not require it. Deadlines for registering in your state can be found at the U.S. Vote Foundation.   Q: Do I need a government-issued ID? A: These requirements can vary by state and can be found at NCSL.   Q: What if I was removed in a voter purge? A: You can check your status at Vote.org.   Listen to the podcast for more Q&A regarding voting over the internet, those interfering Russians, Trump’s chances of re-election, how trustworthy the polls are, if we are going to be ok, and when this will be all over.

Guests Kevin Titus and Thomas Reed | The Reed UFO Incident made International headlines in 2015 when it became the Nation’s first UFO encounter to be officially inducted into the archives of the United States, as "Historically Significant and True". This official induction consisted of two State Citations by Massachusetts Governor, Charles D. Barker, and Lieutenant Governor Karyn E. Polito. The Massachusetts Historical Society also issued an official State induction in February of 2015. Following this first of a kind entry into State’s antiquity, a 5000-pound commemorative Monument was unveiled. The induction and the unveiling of the UFO Monument graced the front page of the Boston Globe, and was covered live by ABC News NY. Judge Kevin W. Titus of the 30th district court later sealed the records by Governor Charles D. Baker and the Historical Society, declaring them uncontested lawful documents. In 2018, the Historical Marker Database added the UFO Monument to its library of official landmarks. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Seal was then added to the front of the UFO Monument. https://thomreed.net/Please check out our other pages and social media!https://kgraradio.com/paranormal-now/https://www.paranormalnow.netTwitter: https://twitter.com/Paranormal_NowIG: https://www.instagram.com/paranormalnow/YouTube-Paranormal Pop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz2FIUUshS8
