BOSTON — The Charlie Baker administration is eliminating nearly 15 percent of Massachusetts state regulations and amending at least another 40 percent in a top-to-bottom overhaul aimed at making state government more efficient and business-friendly.
The move comes a little more than a year after Baker issued a directive to all state agencies, requiring them to undertake a review of their regulations, with instructions that none should exceed federal requirements.
BOSTON – The gloves are off in the fight to stop voters from authorizing an increase the number of Massachusetts charter schools, an issue that will appear on the Massachusetts ballot this November.
The Campaign to Save our Public Schools, an anti-charter group backed by several unions, is launching a 30-second advertisement against the charter expansion referendum, according to a report in the Boston Globe on Tuesday. The ad, which closes by urging voters to "vote no on question 2," claims that charters will drain four hundred million dollars from existing public schools.
