The GOP must abandon the ‘leave it to the states’ position – a stance that permits egregious late-term abortion laws like this one – and advance national protections for unborn children. Without a minimum national standard, the United States remains one of only eight countries worldwide that allows abortion at any point in pregnancy. We must do all we can to turn the page on America’s ugly chapter of late-term abortion." “Every legislator who voted for this bill needs to be held accountable — and that starts with people like you taking action, running for office or volunteering,” said the Massachusetts Family Action on its website. “The coming fall elections are a critical moment for the future of Massachusetts.” FIREFIGHTERS (S 3251) – The Senate approved legislation that would establish serious criminal penalties for fire code and building code violations that cause the injury or death of a firefighter, construction worker or any member of the public. The measure was first proposed after the March 2014 deaths of firefighters Edward Walsh and Michael Kennedy who perished while fighting a fire that was caused by welders, working without a city permit, on a building next door to the brownstone in which they died. Provisions include a sentence of up to ten years in state prison and a fine of up to $500,000 if a person commits certain violations of the state fire code or building code that cause a death; up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 if the violation causes serious bodily injury; enhancement of the penalty for violations of the state fire prevention law related to hot work, increasing the fine for BUYER2 Barry, Nancy Kemerer, Paige Patel, Ashishkumar Babulal Patel, Gitaben Ashishkumar Bajracharya, Rashmila SELLER1 Kim, Dongjin Keohane, Andrea Barbara C Breen Ft 204-210 Highland Ave Nt Fernandez, Nancy A Kolaj, Igri Rdj T a first offense to $1,000 from the current $100 fine. Third and subsequent offenses for hot work violations could be penalized with up to 2.5 years in a house of correction and a share of the building project’s total value. Other provisions require the Department of Fire Services to administer an accessible electronic database that can be used to check a worker’s status; and require the establishment of a system of public notification and recording of non-compliance with regulations. The measure also codifies standards for the training and certification programs used to prepare people for hot work, cutting and welding processes. It requires initial training to be in person, with subsequent annual continued-education programming to be either online or in person. “This legislation is an important step toward setting clear standards for this dangerous work, strengthening accountability and creating stronger incentives to put safety first,” said Sen. Nick Collins (D-South Boston). “We learned from past tragedies, and we have a responsibility to carry those lessons forward to better protect workers, firefighters and the neighborhoods where this work is taking place.” “This is about justice,” said Sen. Will Brownsberger (D-Belmont). “Carelessness can kill people. Everyone needs to know that there will be consequences when safety rules are recklessly ignored.” “Lt. Walsh and Firefighter Kennedy’s lives were tragically cut short because someone chose to cut a corner,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “Absolutely no one should lose a parent, spouse or loved one because fire code was not followed, and this bill makes clear that we will hold Copyrighted material previously published in Banker & Tradesman/The Commercial Record, a weekly trade newspaper.

MAKE JURASSIC ARMORED MUD BALL THE OFFICIAL SEDIMENTARY STRUCTURE OF THE STATE (H 3438) – The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would designate the Jurassic Armored Mud Ball (JAMB) as the official sedimentary structure of the state. Supporters said that these mud balls are one of the rarest sedimentary structures in the world, representing a unique geologic environment and are only easily seen in Massachusetts. They noted that they can be found in Greenfield, Turners Falls, Gill and Deerfield. They noted that famous Greenfield native and magician, Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller once said, "I may live in Las Vegas and travel the world, but my armored mud balls will always be in Greenfield. Let’s protect them.” Richard Little, Professor Emeritus of Greenfield Community ColCITY Malden Malden Malden Malden Malden Malden Malden lege is leading the fight to preserve and publicize the JAMB. “The intriguing and amusingly named armored mud balls formed as mud rolled down flooding streams and became coated with pebbles – the armor,” said Little. “These sedimentary structures are so rare that, in the whole world, they are only easily seen in the red sedimentary rocks of the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts. Officially celebrating them as one of Massachusetts’ symbols, will preserve them for future generations. After all, they are in the same Jurassic rock layers as our State Dinosaur (Podokesaurus) and State Fossil (Dino Footprints). That is why I am leading a working group of scientists and citizens to preserve these rare features.” Rep. Susannah Whipps (U-Athol), the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her why she filed the measure and how she feels about its passage.
