Sunday hunting in Massachusetts under consideration…again

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:24:46 GMT

An archaic law banning Bay State hunters from the woods on Sundays would be overturned by any of several bills under consideration by the Legislature, and some residents say lawmakers need to act to protect their communities from being overrun by deer.Massachusetts is one of just two states in the nation to still enforce a 19th century law prohibiting Sunday hunting. Bills heard by the Joint Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on Wednesday would lift that ban entirely or modify it to allow archery hunting on Sundays.“In the community where I live…we have a massive deer population problem,” Dartmouth resident Alex Goodman told the committee.In Dartmouth, Goodman said, there are 56 deer per square mile. A sustainable population would be closer to a dozen per square mile, he said.“This problem is leading to huge problems with over-browsing in our native forests. It’s also leading to near-daily vehicle collisions on our roadways. It’s also leading to the spread of...

House and Senate lawmakers walked away from lightly attended sessions Wednesday without a deal on a supplemental budget that would close the books on the last fiscal year, and includes crucial funding for union contracts and emergency shelters.Nearly two weeks after the Legislature finished formal law making for the year, Democratic leaders in both chambers have so far failed to find consensus on a $2.8 billion supplemental budget that includes $250 million for the besieged shelter system and nearly $400 million for public employee contracts.Informal sessions Monday were held open for hours before legislators adjourned with no public deal and Wednesday sessions lasted only minutes in each branch.Both the House and Senate are scheduled to meet again Thursday at 11 a.m. in informal sessions, where any one lawmaker has the power to block advancing bills.A panel of six lawmakers is negotiating the supplemental budget, which includes money for more than 90 collective bargaining agreement...

OTTAWA — Canadians will still be able to search for news stories on Google after the tech giant struck a last-minute deal with the Liberal government that will put $100 million a year into local newsrooms.

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:24:46 GMT

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A Wyoming coal mine that supplies fuel to a power plant that will be converted to burn gas plans to lay off 19 workers next month, the latest of thousands of jobs lost in the beleaguered U.S. coal industry in recent years.Fifteen workers at the Black Butte Mine were told Monday and four more Wednesday they would lose their jobs in mid-December, mine manager Steve Gili said Wednesday.Most are heavy equipment operators but some are mechanics and other mine staff. No additional layoffs are planned at the mine where the workforce will shrink from 132 to 113, said Gili, who declined to comment further.While northeastern Wyoming is home to eight of the 10 most productive U.S. coal mines, Black Butte in the southwestern part of the state is a smaller operation. The mine east of Rock Springs in the sparsely populated Red Desert produces 2.5 million tons (2.3 million metric tons) of coal a year primarily to feed PacifiCorp’s nearby Jim Bridger power plant.ThatR...
