A roundup of recent articles from the Massachusetts independent press


Read on for some of the best recent articles by local independent news outlets around the Bay State!

ARTS
Television Review: “The Piano Lesson” — An Invaluable Tutorial
The Arts Fuse
Some very interesting Boston-connected background to this show is covered in this review from Robert Israel.

ENVIRONMENT
Meet Your Neighborhood Greenhouse Gas Emitters
The Shoestring (Western Mass.)
Global-warming-driven wildfires don’t start themselves, now do they?

GOVERNMENT
Women In Leadership: How Does Sudbury Town Government Stack Up?
Sudbury Weekly
It looks like Sudbury has far more women working for its local government than the national average—including in senior management and other fields traditionally dominated by men.

HOUSING
Rowley strikes down 3A for second time, but in much narrower vote
The Local News (Ipswich)
Yet another rich, lily white, town shoots down the MBTA Communities Act—which mandates the construction of more multi-family (and affordable) housing (and therefore not just for white people)—and shoots itself in the budgetary face just to keep “THEM” out. I know we’re all shocked. Some other procedural maneuvering also played a role in the narrow no vote, but whatever.

JUSTICE
Project Priceless and the power of collective action
Worcester Sucks and I Love It
A collective of unhoused women wins one for their team.

TRANSPORTATION
Draw One Bridge will not have pedestrian path that was promised as mitigation from Big Dig
Cambridge Day
A Big Dig promise to be ignored?! The hell you say!

Morrissey re-build cost put at $350m at high end; some ask more plan time
Dorchester Reporter
Keep in mind this is for a short stretch of road that’s going underwater no matter what as the seas continue to rise.
