Lucas: VP of what?

It’s a shame Kamala Harris did not stop over at Logan Airport en route to Martha’s Vineyard last weekend.Had she done so she could have picked up an illegal immigrant family or two and connected them to welcoming families living on the affluent island.Harris is, after all, Joe Biden’s border czar charged with rooting out the causes of illegal immigration, one of which is the open southern border.That way she would have helped answer Gov. Maura Healey’s call for Massachusetts residents to take in families of illegal immigrants to ease the flood of immigrants that have overwhelmed the state’s shelter system.Or as Kim “Ditto” Driscoll, the lieutenant governor, put it when Healey called a state of emergency, “If you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family.”It is costing Massachusetts taxpayers $45 million a month to house the influx of illegal immigrants. Shelters are overflowing and hotels and motels are booked.Next thing you know legitimate tourists,...

Yankees’ catching coordinator pleased with Austin Wells’ defensive growth

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 23:10:37 GMT

Ever since the Yankees drafted Austin Wells 28th overall in 2020, there have been questions about the catcher’s defense.Even the Yankees’ catching coordinator, Tanner Swanson, acknowledged that those concerns existed when Wells left the University of Arizona. But Swanson, who gets progress reports on all of the organization’s catchers and keeps up with what Wells is doing on a daily basis, is pleased with the strides the farmhand has made.“Sometimes it’s hard to shed those narratives or the stigma. As an industry, we’re pretty quick to label guys, especially early, as soon as you acquire them,” Swanson told the Daily News of Wells. “He definitely had question marks defensively when we got him, but he’s done nothing but perform defensively since he’s been in our system. So there’s been a lot of really, really positive signs of his growth as a receiver, a blocker. The arm has come a long way since college.”Swanson...

American Airlines is suing a travel website that sells tickets that let people save money by exploiting a quirk in airline pricing.American sued Skiplagged Inc. in federal court in Fort Worth, Texas, this week, accusing the website of deception. It threatened to cancel every ticket that Skiplagged has sold.In a practice called skiplagging and hidden-city ticketing, travelers book a flight that includes at least one stop, but they leave the plane during a layover. Generally skiplagging is not illegal, but airlines claim that it violates their policies.FEMA has paid out more than $5.6 million to Maui survivors, a figure expected to grow significantlyThe Federal Emergency Management Agency said Friday it has approved more than $5.6 million in assistance to nearly 2,000 households in Maui so far as the federal government tries to help survivors of the devastating wildfires.The White House and FEMA approved a one-time payment of $700 per household for needs like clothing, food, or transp...

Jermaine Wiggins Era begins at Brockton High with high expectations

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 23:10:37 GMT

BROCKTON — If there were any motto to define what Jermaine Wiggins wants to see as the new Brockton coach, it was on the back of T-shirts worn by coaches and players for Friday’s practice.Spread across in white lettering on the black shirts, it read “Nothing Goes Unnoticed.”That idea, a pledge to detail and accountability, acts as Wiggins’ main message as he replaces Peter Colombo. Before Colombo, Peter’s late father, Armond, led the Boxers, as the program had a Colombo leading the way every year since the late 1960s.But now, it’s a new day, and Wiggins, a former New England Patriots tight end, knows there isn’t anything he will do as coach of the Boxers that will go unnoticed. After practice Friday, Wiggins seemed excited to get started.“And it’s ‘Nothing Goes Unnoticed’ good or bad. So if you’re doing good things, it’s being noticed. If you’re doing bad things, it’s being noticed,” Wigg...

New beginning for Justin Flores, Everett High football program

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 23:10:37 GMT

EVERETT – Justin Flores’ first audible wasn’t the most popular one, but proved to be the most prudent course of action.The first-year Everett football coach debated whether to tempt fate and hold the team’s first practice outdoors as regularly scheduled or play it safe and move things indoors in the event of rain. Flores opted for the latter and it turned out to be a wise move as the skies opened up just as practice began and rained for the better part of 45 minutes, flooding some of the roads around Everett Memorial Stadium.“It was 9:30 in the morning and I was thinking where to practice because of the weather,” said Flores, who accepted the job in late June. “When I told the guys we were going to be in the gym, they weren’t happy because they wanted to practice outdoors, but I explained the situation and that we needed to reserve the gym then or someone else would take it.”The opening day wasn’t as fluid as Flores would have liked, but the 31-year-old...

Federal judges rule against provisions of GOP-backed voting laws in Georgia and Texas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 23:10:37 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Federal judges in Georgia and Texas have ruled against key provisions of two controversial election laws passed two years ago as the Republican Party sought to tighten voting rules after former President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential contest.U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez struck down a provision of Texas’ law requiring that mail voters provide the same identification number they used when they registered to vote. He ruled the requirement violated the U.S. Civil Rights Act because it led to people being unable to cast ballots due to a matter irrelevant to whether they are registered.The change led to skyrocketing mail ballot rejections in the first election after the law passed in September 2021 and was targeted in a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice.“This ruling sends a clear message that states may not impose unlawful and unnecessary requirements that disenfranchise eligible voters seeking to participate in our democra...
