And he unveiled a plan to try and ease the eye-watering costs of childcare in the U.K., some of the highest in the world. The opposition Labour Party said the budget fell far short of the “major surgery” needed.In key measures unveiled by the U.K. chancellor Wednesday:— On childcare, shaping up to be one of the key battlegrounds of the next election, Hunt promised working parents with children under the age of 4 would be offered 30 ho...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:33:31 GMT

The Healey administration will lift the state’s modified COVID-19 public health emergency effective May 11, and Gov. Maura Healey on that day also plans to walk back a vaccine mandate for tens of thousands of executive branch workers. Healey’s office announced Wednesday morning it plans to end the state-level public health emergency in alignment with the May 11 end of the federal public health emergency. Former Gov. Charlie Baker declared a state of emergency in March 2020, then issued a modified public health emergency in May 2021 and lifted the original state of emergency in June 2021. As part of the transition to the next phase of life with the virus, Healey said she plans to rescind a Baker executive order that required executive branch workers to undergo a primary vaccination series against COVID-19 or secure a medical or religious exemption. That policy proved controversial, prompting a legal fight with the State Police Association of Massachusetts. Baker’s o...

One week since she formally notified them of her plan to launch the first audit of the Legislature in a century, Auditor Diana DiZoglio said Tuesday that her office still has not received any response from the House or Senate.

We will soon be following up to our initial engagement letter in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. Our team is still proceeding in their outreach to both chambers to schedule an entrance conference — kicking off the engagement,” DiZoglio said Tuesday in a statement to the News Se...
