Labor Day was the last day of the year for lifeguards at many beaches in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The beaches run by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation will not be staffed with lifeguards for the rest of the year, as WCVB reports. These beaches typically have lifeguards on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker attended a fund raiser in Mashpee last week that drew prominent guests from both sides of the political aisle.
Former Boston mayor Raymond Flynn, a pro-life Democrat who served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See under President Bill Clinton, and former Boston Police Department commissioner William Gross, another Democrat, were among the attendees. On the Republican side, Plymouth resident Jesse Brown, a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in the state's Ninth Congressional District, was also in attendance.
