Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:22 GMT

Drivers could be slapped with higher fines and possible jail time for failing to slow down and change lanes for roadside emergency vehicles, as part of changes to a 2009 “move over law” sought by the State Police Association of Massachusetts.Failure to comply with this law has led to injury and death for state troopers, firefighters and tow truck operators, state police union representatives testified at a Tuesday legislative hearing, where several bills on the matter were considered.“It is imperative to protect our first responders so we can protect you,” said Patrick McNamara, president of the State Police Association. “Failure to obey this law results in lives disrupted, irrevocably altered and lost in a blink of an eye.”“Virtually every instance” where a motorist failed to slow down and move over, and then ultimately hit a first responder was preventable, he added.Three proposed bills are seeking to update what state Sen. Walter Timilty called an “archaic” penalty structure that...

Following a procedural move gun rights groups are calling a legislative “shell game,” lawmakers will vote on a controversial new gun bill this week, after House leadership revealed they had attached much of the bill to the 2023 close-out budget.On Tuesday, the House Ways and Means Committee polled its membership on whether they might vote in favor of recommending “H.4090 ‘An Act making appropriations for fiscal year 2023 to provide for supplementing certain existing appropriations and for certain other activities and projects’ in part, as amended; see attached.”Attached to that bill, which was submitted in September by Gov. Maura Healey with an aim toward closing the books on the state’s fiscal 2023 budget, was the third version of the House’s gun legislation.Originally proposed by Stoneham Rep. Michael Day as HD. 4420, or An Act modernizing firearms laws, gun owners met the first draft bill with alarm at many of its provisions. As written, according to opponents, the bill would mak...

Analysis: Red Sox outfield was mixed bag in 2023 but promising future ahead

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:22 GMT

The Red Sox outfield played out simultaneously as expected and unexpectedly in 2023.Like the team overall, the outfield was a mixed bag. Unlike the roster as a whole however, which is a giant question mark heading into the offseason, the outfield is set up for success for several seasons to come.After making a bold declaration at spring training, Alex Verdugo followed through with a strong defensive campaign. He led the Red Sox with plus-9 Defensive Runs Saved, and ranked in the 95th MLB percentile in arm strength. His plus-1 Outs Above Average tied for sixth among Major League right fielders, an improvement over minus-1 OAA in two seasons prior.Unfortunately, the 27-year-old still struggled to maintain consistency at the plate. There was a slight increase in power – he matched his career-high 13 home runs – and his walk rate jumped to 7.5 percent, up from 6.5-percent in 2022. However, his batting average and on-base percentage dropped while his strikeout rate climbed to 15.5 percen...
