Ukraine, impeachment, workers strike and more: Biden’s U.N. balancing act

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 15:24:43 GMT

President Joe Biden will offer another defense of democracy this week at the annual United Nations General Assembly, the last such global gathering before the stretch run of the U.S. election season — but one already at risk of being overshadowed by messy domestic politics.Biden will again attempt to rally the world behind Ukraine, but the urgent calls to back Kyiv will be aimed just as much at home where he faces a looming funding fight with House Republicans.As he meets with world leaders, the president also will be grappling with possibly sweeping economic consequences of the United Auto Workers strike as well as ongoing fallout from the indictment of his son, Hunter, and an impeachment inquiry from Congress. His reelection bid will also be top of mind — and that campaign will likely pit him against someone who challenged the American democracy that Biden will try to showcase to the world during his four days in New York.“He will lay out to the world the steps that...

Up in smoke: Cannabis Commission to meet without suspended chairwoman

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 15:24:43 GMT

The Cannabis Control Commission meets Monday absent its chairwoman after she was suddenly suspended from her job last week.On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Deb Goldberg removed pot boss Shannon O’Brien from her post just a year after the former gubernatorial candidate took the job steering marijuana policy for the state. The suspension, with pay, was made public the next day.O’Brien, who previously won election as State Treasurer, was appointed to lead the five member commission by Goldberg last August. The chairwoman is paid $181,722 per year for her work.At the time of her appointment, Goldberg said she was confident that O’Brien’s “financial background, experience in corporate governance, executive management, and business development, combined with outstanding leadership skills and an acute knowledge of the legislative process, will help the Massachusetts cannabis industry be fairly regulated, equitable, and successful.”After Thursday’s suspension, it’s quite clear th...

In the dark: RMV records restricted with immigrant driver’s license law

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 15:24:43 GMT

The state department of transportation will no longer release driving records to the public after the implementation of an immigrant driver’s license law this summer, which has given the agency cover to deny records requests for the documents.The records were considered public and easily accessible from MassDOT before July 1, the start date of the driver’s license law, which provides a pathway to legal driving for immigrants who can provide some form of documentation.But language included in the law bars the state from releasing any information related to a Massachusetts license holder. The statute says the information shall “neither be a public record nor disclosed by the registrar, except as authorized by regulations promulgated by the attorney general.”The Herald requested on Aug. 21 all city councilors’ and Mayor Michelle Wu’s driving records to test whether the documents remained publicly accessible under the new law. In a letter Thursday, MassDOT Records Access Officer W...
