This Massachusetts Flea Market Turns Into A Treasure Hunter’s Paradise Only Three Times A Year

Six days. Three months a year. Hundreds of vendors stretched along both sides of one country road, selling everything from 1800s furniture to taxidermy. That alone made me stop scrolling. Then I learned admission is free, and the whole thing runs rain or shine from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in May, July, and September.

Massachusetts Casino Expansion Plan Sparks Revenue Concerns

Massachusetts is seeing growing opposition to an effort to install historical horse racing (HHR) machines at two former racetracks. Critics say the plan could hurt current casinos, cut public revenues, and create an uneven regulatory landscape. Massachusetts House Gambling Proposal Could Generate $120M Annually The proposal is included in a House version of an economic development bill that passed in July. It would allow Suffolk Downs and Raynham Park to run HHR machines under licenses previously issued to the old racetracks. The Senate version does not include that provision, leaving it among the issues lawmakers must work out on a conference committee, reported The Boston Globe . Ron Mariano , House Speaker, has defended the measure as a way to raise more money for healthcare. The proposal calls for 2.5% of the total amount wagered on HHR machines to go to the state’s Health Safety Net trust fund . The fund helps hospitals and health centers care for the uninsured and underinsured. Backers say the new gambling operations could produce $120 million a year in tax revenue by their third year. However, the state’s three licensed casino operators dispute those projections, warning that the expansion could hurt existing income streams.

In Wellesley, Massachusetts, it is basically illegal to build a starter home, and it looks like it will stay that way. The voters of Massachusetts appear to have rejected a measure that would have overridden local laws that ban modest lots. This sounds like an arcane battle between state law and local zoning regulations, but […]

Democrat, 19, wins Massachusetts House seat by knocking off eight-term GOP member

He’s a literal freshman. A 19-year-old Democrat unseated an eight-term GOP member of the Massachusetts State House Tuesday, capitalizing on a historic midterm election that saw formerly safe Republican seats flipped at all levels across the country . Daniel Darris-O’Connor, of the white-collar Boston suburb of Billerica, will become one of the youngest-ever Bay State lawmakers when he replaces state Rep. Marc Lombardo — who had represented the 22nd Middlesex District since Darris-O’Connor was 4 years old. Teenage Democrat Daniel Darris-O’Connor unseated an 8-term Republican member of the Massachusetts house on Tuesday. Daniel Darris-O'Connor for State Representative / Facebook “Yes, I’m a younger candidate, and I’m a lot younger than most, I’d say. But I wouldn’t say I was running as the young candidate,” Darris-O’Connor told The Boston Globe , adding that he was frequently mistaken for a campaign intern or another candidate’s son while door-knocking. NYC voters gave Hochul more love than Mamdani at the polls: stats “I ran being focused on the issues.” Darris-O’Connor will turn 20 the day before he is sworn in this coming January, meaning he’ll just miss out on besting the benchmark set by Thomas Lussier, who was 19 when he became a member
