Healey waded into an escalating battle between towns along the Quabbin Reservoir and Greater Boston’s water provider when she urged the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to “more fully recognize” those small, rural communities. Her letter to the agency comes on the heels of a CommonWealth Beacon report that chronicled the tensions bubbling between state officials and Quabbin communities. Jordan Wolman follows the story . Plus, Massachusetts is ramping up legislative efforts to increase housing supply across the state – except in Boston , where an independent zoning code makes it an outlier in the Commonwealth; the Senate is relaunching its push to allow many 18-year-olds to be tried in the youth justice system, not adult courts; in Massachusetts, predicting the future comes with paperwork, and the supernaturally inclined don...
