📰 News we're reading
• State public health officials alert residents about potential exposure to measles in multiple locations (peabodyweeklynews.com) — State health officials are warning that an out-of-state visitor with measles stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Boston‑Westborough from Dec. 11–12, potentially exposing guests and staff. Residents who were at the hotel during that time and aren’t fully vaccinated should watch for symptoms and call their doctor before seeking in‑person care. Officials stress that two MMR doses give strong protection. 
• Beacon Hill Roll Call: Healey's vetoes get little support (sentinelandenterprise.com) — A recent measles case involved an out-of-state adult who spent time in both Boston and Westborough, potentially exposing others at several locations, according to state health officials. The broader report also breaks down how Massachusetts senators voted on Gov. Maura Healey’s budget vetoes, new tax relief for live-in personal care attendants, and several potential 2026 statewide ballot questions.
• Man robbed after women lured him to hotel room at Bally's, police say (providencejournal.com) — A 19-year-old woman from Westborough is among three people charged after a man was allegedly lured from Bally’s casino in Lincoln, R.I., to a hotel room and robbed of $1,500 at knifepoint. Police say she and another Massachusetts woman helped set up the encounter before a Worcester man confronted the victim. All three face robbery and conspiracy charges.
