The city of Boston will compensate a Christian legal group after refusing to fly a Christian flag outside of city hall in 2017.
The city has agreed to pay $2.125 million to Liberty Counsel, according to court documents filed in U.S. District Court in Boston. This will cover the organization's attorney fees and legal costs amid its legal battle with the city.
The Massachusetts legislature wanted to spend $1 million on an anti-crisis pregnancy awareness campaign — and Governor Charlie Baker said no.
Baker signed an economic development bill into law late this week (H.5374), known as "An Act Relating To Economic Growth and Relief for the Commonwealth." The Massachusetts House of Representatives and Senate unanimously passed the bill on Thursday, November 3.
