AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Birchmore Trial: Testimony resumes in the federal murder trial of former Stoughton police detective Matthew Farwell; the man authorities say fathered Sandra Birchmore’s unborn child is expected to testify Thursday. Election 2026: More than 9% of Massachusetts voters have already cast ballots, with early voting ahead of 2022. Voters also face Question 1, which would strengthen public-records laws, and Question 3, a proposal to replace party primaries with a top-two system. Affordability: The Massachusetts House rejected Gov. Maura Healey’s proposed gas-tax holiday, leaving drivers without the relief she sought amid rising costs. Energy: The Trump administration is targeting another offshore wind project for reconsideration, adding uncertainty for Massachusetts’ clean-energy plans. State Government: Healey tapped attorneys for District Court judgeships, while MassDOT’s Jonathan Gulliver was selected to lead the state water agency.
