📰 News we're reading

• Massachusetts Lawmakers Target Dark Money Spending to Influence Local Town Votes (fallriverreporter.com) — A statewide bill backed in part by Concord Rep. Simon Cataldo would force anyone spending $1,000 or more to sway town meeting warrant articles to publicly disclose their donors and expenditures. Aimed at closing a campaign finance loophole highlighted by Cape Cod housing fights, the proposal has cleared an initial House vote and is moving through both chambers, potentially reshaping how outside money operates in Concord’s own town meetings.
