Plus, after federal immigration enforcement arrests derailed three state criminal trials, the Supreme Judicial Court is considering how judges can preserve the constitutional right to due process, while having no jurisdiction over ICE operations; in their first debate, incumbent Gov. Maura Healey and Republican candidate Mike Minogue offered contrasting views of the state’s economic health; Gov. Healey has increasingly attacked the state's utility companies for “greed” at the expense of ratepayers, while 14 Eversource executives donated a total of $4,500 to her campaign coffers in the last month; and Chelsea could be next in a string of cities across the country that are abandoning parking minimums in the hopes that it will lead to fewer parking lots, more housing, and walkable, transit-oriented neighborhoods. |

| | Across the country, cities are abandoning their parking minimums and hoping to end up with fewer parking lots and walkable, transit-oriented neighborhoods. The local rules have been used to ensure new developments can accommodate residents with cars and do not overwhelm on-street public parking.
