Massachusetts ‘open to time limits’ for families staying in emergency shelters, Healey says

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:23:22 GMT

State officials are “open to time limits” for the thousands of homeless families living in emergency shelters, Gov. Maura Healey said Thursday, a potential move that drew mixed reactions from shelter providers and resettlement agencies working on the ground.Days after her administration released rules that grant the power to curtail shelter stays, and only a day after a judge cleared the way for the state to cap the system at 7,500 families, Healey raised the possibility of cutting short families’ time in one of the hundreds of sites across Massachusetts, including a sweeping net of hotels and motels.“We’re open to time limits, whatever the moment requires,” Healey said at an unrelated event inside the State House. “We’ve been talking as a team, and we’ll have more information about that.

Jimmy Buffett’s band looks to continue as new album comes out

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:23:22 GMT

The party may not be over for Parrotheads, even if Jimmy Buffett’s gone.The majordomo of Margaritaville died Sept. 1 at the age of 76 of complications from Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare skin cancer that was diagnosed back in 2019. It would seem to bring an end to more than five decades of boat drinks, cheeseburgers in paradise, fins to the left and right, and everything else that’s part of Buffett culture.But members of his Coral Reefer Band may have other plans — as did Buffett himself.“There’s definitely talk about doing something to keep it going,” says Michael Utley, 76, who worked with Buffett for 50 years, including scripting the annual summer shows. “(Buffett) would’ve wanted that. He always wanted that.”Related ArticlesMusic and Concerts | Listen to the last new Beatles’ song with John, Paul, George, Ringo and AI tech: ‘Now and Then’ Music and Concerts | Depeche Mode goes big at TD Garden Music and Concerts | Depeche Mode goes big a...
