Massachusetts court crisis
DAY IN COURT — Attorneys who represent defendants who can't afford one themselves want a pay raise that would put their rates closer to their counterparts in neighboring states. The lawmakers who already cut spending from the state's annual budget — and are bracing for the fallout from federal spending cuts — don't see any place to pull the money from. The standoff is on the precipice of exploding into a major political headache for Gov. Maura Healey. So-called bar advocates stopped taking new cases in late May as they called for the state to raise their rate by $35 an hour. The raise would put their pay at $100 an hour for district court cases — an ask that may seem like a leap, but would move them closer to other states like New Hampshire and Rhode Island (one's where the cost of living is less expensive than in Massachusetts, they point out). The work stoppage is leaving defendants without counsel, and some have started to be released, thanks to a Supreme Judicial Court rule that requires defendants be released after seven days without a lawyer. After 45 days without representation, those cases can be dismissed — and since the work stoppage began just after Memorial Day, that could be imminent for some defendants. It's an easy opening for Healey's Republican opponents, who have spent the first few months of the nascent race criticizing the Democratic governor over state spending and safety. Both state officials and bar advocates say they're looking for a quick solution. 'It's a matter of public safety,' Healey said on Wednesday. 'It's also a matter of due process, and people are entitled to representation.' It's unclear what the ultimate fix will be, since money is tight. Budget writers in the Legislature and in Healey's office took turns shaving down the state's annual budget in recent weeks as they brace for a possible hit from federal funding cuts and uncertain revenues. '[If] we were to grant what some folks have been requesting … it's a $100 million issue,' House Ways and Means Committee Chair Aaron Michlewitz told reporters Wednesday. One idea that's been batted around: Granting the attorneys a more modest raise now, and tacking on a separate pay rate increase later on. But ultimately they'll need a longer term fix. "The Legislature could come up with a very temporary solution that might plug the immediate hole that we're in,' Shira Diner of the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers told Playbook. 'But then we will only be back in the situation again next year, right?' GOOD THURSDAY MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. Have a tip, story, suggestion, birthday, anniversary, new job, or any other nugget for the Playbook? Drop me a line: kgarrity@ TODAY — Gov. Maura Healey and Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll the Commonwealth's Caribbean Breakfast at 12:30 p.m. at the State House and announce an anti-hunger program at 2:15 p.m. in Medford. Attorney General Andrea Campbell visits the Pittsfield Branch of the Berkshire Family YMCA at 10 a.m. and stops at Berkshire Medical Center at noon in Pittsfield. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announces the first units of housing that are under construction through the city's 'Office to Residential Conversion Program' at 10:30 a.m. in Boston. DATELINE BEACON HILL WHAT THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE IS READING — This new Morning Consult tracking poll that shows 59 percent of registered voters approve of Gov. Maura Healey's performance. That's a jump up from a University of New Hampshire poll earlier this year that had Healey's approval at 49 percent, and on par with an internal poll Healey's campaign conducted around the same time. — Massachusetts House announces hiring freeze in face of federal funding cuts by Samantha J. Gross, The Boston Globe: 'As the state braces for the impact of federal funding cuts, state House leaders announced Wednesday that they are freezing hiring, citing 'federal economic uncertainty' in Washington. According to an email obtained by the Globe, House Human Resources director Katherine Palmer described the freeze as 'temporary' and 'proactive,' and said that it will not affect previously approved jobs or backfills for positions in offices where a state representative only has one aide.' — Healey's $3b bill seeks to future-proof Mass. against flash floods and more by Sabrina Shankman, The Boston Globe: 'Governor Maura Healey has proposed a $3 billion bond bill that aims to get the state ready for what's to come — and what's already happening — via a suite of programs and regulatory changes, including the introduction of a mandatory flood risk disclosure for home sales and rentals, a $200 million revolving fund for resilience projects, and a streamlined permitting process for culverts and salt marsh restoration. If passed by the Legislature, the so-called Mass Ready Act would be a historic investment in climate-readiness, said Stephanie Cooper, the state's undersecretary for the environment — 'the biggest ever.'' — Massachusetts House votes to expand safeguards for abortion, gender-affirming care by Katie Lannan, GBH News: 'People seeking reproductive and gender-related health care in Massachusetts – and the medical professionals who provide that care – are a step closer to gaining another layer of protections under state law. The Massachusetts House voted 136-23 Wednesday on a bill aimed at shielding patient and provider data from out-of-state actors.' — State offers tax credits for theaters by Christian M. Wade, The Eagle-Tribune: 'The pilot program, which will be jointly administered by the state offices of Travel and Tourism and Business Development, will offer up to $7 million in funding for live-stage musical theater, dance or theatrical productions in the state.' — State lawmaker charged with OUI, property damage near State House by Veronica Haynes and Sharman Sacchetti, WCVB: 'A Massachusetts lawmaker is facing multiple charges, including operating under the influence of liquor, after a crash near the State House in Beacon Hill. According to documents obtained by 5 Investigates, state Rep. John Lawn, 56, of Watertown, as arrested at 1:45 a.m. Wednesday in the area of Beacon and Bowdoin streets. Lawn is charged with operating under the influence of liquor and leaving a scene where there was property damage, both misdemeanors.' FROM THE HUB — Rules for 700-foot skyscrapers across downtown will have to wait by Catherine Carlock, The Boston Globe: 'The long-gestating rules outlining what can be built where in the core of downtown Boston will get at least another few weeks of discussion. The Boston Planning and Development Agency board this week was set to discuss a set of zoning changes that aim to balance historic preservation with denser new development that would add to downtown's housing — including allowing for 700-foot skyscrapers in certain areas and easing office-to-residential conversions — but at the last minute, the plan was left off the board's agenda when it was released Tuesday afternoon.' THE RACE FOR CITY HALL FIRST IN PLAYBOOK — The Greater Boston Building Trades Unions has endorsed Somerville Mayor Katjana Ballantyne for reelection. FALL RIVER FALLOUT — Fall River will hire more firefighters following deadly assisted living facility fire by Patrick Madden and Christine Willmsen, WBUR: 'Speaking during an impassioned press conference Monday, representatives from the International Association of Fire Fighters claimed a shortage of on-duty firefighters hampered the response to the deadly fire. National standards for fire departments mandate four firefighters on every truck. Officials say Fall River was operating below those levels, with only two of its 10 vehicles fully staffed. The additional staffing will mean four more engines have four on-duty firefighters.' PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES — MBTA evaluating system for faulty cables after Blue Line evacuation by Andrea Perdomo-Hernandez, WBUR: 'The MBTA's general manager says a decades-old cable forced an electrical shutdown and the evacuation of nearly 500 Blue Line passengers in the harbor tunnel on Tuesday. Phil Eng says the T is now evaluating the entire system for similar issues.' IN THE COURTS — Republic Services sues striking Teamsters, as latest contract talks fail by Matthew Medgar, Boston Herald: 'Bargaining between striking sanitation workers and the waste management giant they work for have ended in an impasse, as the company asks a federal judge to intervene to stop allegedly criminal negotiating tactics. Members of the Teamsters Local 25 have been off the job since July 1 when their contract expired, and despite several rounds of negotiations, some in the presence of a federal mediator, the latest talks held Tuesday went 12 hours without reaching a conclusion other than that the strike will go on.' — Two Massachusetts sanctuary cities head to court Thursday to defend their funding by Will Katcher, MassLive: 'A pair of Massachusetts cities are at risk of losing federal funding that has supported safety equipment for police officers, food delivery for senior citizens and paid for detectives investigating drug crime. All of it is on the line Thursday, when attorneys representing Somerville and Chelsea will appear in U.S. District Court in Boston to argue their funding streams should be preserved while they contest the Trump administration's attempt to withhold the money over their local immigration laws.' FROM THE DELEGATION — U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan, local leaders line up behind Sen. Ed Markey's 2026 campaign by Melanie Gilbert, The Lowell Sun: 'U.S. Sen. Ed Markey firmed up support as he seeks a third term representing the commonwealth. A who's who of statewide politicos, led by U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan, endorsed the Malden-born senator who announced his 2026 bid last October. Massachusetts senior U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren won a third six-year term in 2024. … The entire Lowell delegation endorsed Markey, including state Sen. Ed Kennedy and state Reps. Vanna Howard, Rodney Elliott and Tara Hong. Markey also picked up support from state Sen. Jamie Eldridge; state Reps. James Arciero, Simon Cataldo, Colleen Garry, Dan Sena, Margaret Scarsdale and Jonathan Zlotnik; former state Rep. Stephan Hay; Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Middlesex Sheriff Peter Koutoujian; and Methuen Mayor DJ Beauregard and Gardner Mayor Michael Nicholson. Trahan's endorsement video, which was paid for by the Markey Committee, listed some of the issues that Markey has fought for in the community.' THE LOCAL ANGLE — Residents paint over new yellow street lines in Newton as Italian festival begins by Rhondella Richardson and Phil Tenser, WCVB: 'Newton's annual celebration of Italian heritage begins Wednesday amid a heated debate over street lines, with some members of the community repainting the traditional tricolors over the city's fresh double-yellow lines. Every July for nine decades, the St. Mary of Carmen Festival—known as Festa—has paraded along the white and red line in the middle of Adams Street. Last month, the lines were painted over and replaced with standard double-yellow markings. On the eve of Festa, some residents took action without permission and painted over the yellow lines.' — Former parks director suing city, Reardon by Matt Petry, The Newburyport Daily News: 'Former Newburyport Parks Director Lisa Reid has filed a lawsuit against Mayor Sean Reardon and the city claiming her 2022 dismissal was 'wrongful, discriminatory and retaliatory.' Reid served the city from 2006 until being let go on Aug. 5, 2022. Her ouster came roughly a month after Reardon unveiled his plan to roll the Parks Department into the Department of Public Services, claiming that by cutting the Parks Department, the city would save upward of $105,000 a year. Reardon informed Reid on July 8, 2022 that her position would be eliminated.' — Use of AI reading tool in Worcester schools raises privacy concerns by Jesse Collings, Telegram & Gazette: 'The use of an AI-assisted reading tool in local classrooms has raised questions about how permissive school districts and parents should be in exposing students to artificial intelligence.

Why are flags at half-staff? Abbott orders flags lowered to honor Texas flood victims
Flags are flying at half-staff across Texas today, following Gov. Greg Abbott's order to honor the victims of the state's catastrophic floods. The Fourth of July flash flood — which killed more than 100 people, including dozens of children from the all-girls Camp Mystic along the Guadalupe River — is the deadliest rain-driven flash flood in the U.S. since Colorado's 1976 Big Thompson Canyon disaster, which killed 144. The river surged nearly 30 feet in under an hour. At least 150 people remain missing. Another storm early Saturday brought more devastation to Central Texas, killing at least 14 people in the Austin area. 'In heartfelt remembrance of those whose lives were tragically lost in the recent floods, I ordered Texas flags across the state to be lowered to half-staff,' Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement. 'Cecilia and I continue to pray for their loved ones as they grieve this unimaginable loss and urge all Texans to continue praying for all impacted by this devastation. Texas stands united in mourning and in our resolve to support those who strive to heal and recover. "May God bring comfort to every family affected and strength to the thousands of first responders still working on the ground.' Flags should be returned to full-staff at sunrise on Monday, July 14. There are specific holidays and events when flags are flown at half-staff in the United States. That includes: Memorial Day, when the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon only, then raised to the top of the staff. Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless that day is also Armed Forces Day. Patriot Day. National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. National Firefighters Memorial Day. President Dwight Eisenhower also issued a proclamation on the proper times for flying the flag at half-staff when government officials die. That includes: 30 days at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States and its territories and possessions after the death of the president or a former president. 10 days at half-staff after the death of the vice president, the chief justice or a retired chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, or the speaker of the House of Representatives. From the date of death until interment for an associate justice of the Supreme Court, a member of the Cabinet, a former vice president, the president pro tempore of the Senate, the majority leader of the Senate, the minority leader of the Senate, the majority leader of the House of Representatives, or the minority leader of the House of Representatives. The date of death and the following day of a United States senator, representative, territorial delegate, or the resident commissioner from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It should also be flown at half-staff on all federal facilities in the state, congressional district, territory, or commonwealth of these officials. From the date of death until interment for the governor of a state, territory or possession. The president may also order the flag to be flown at half-staff to commemorate the death of other officials, former officials or foreign dignitaries, in addition to tragic events.

3 Ways Trump's Tariffs Could Affect the Biggest Shopping Events This Year
Tariffs have been a topic of concern dominating national — and international — headlines for months on end, and now that many have been imposed, concerns of ripple effects into inflation, trade barriers and the economy overall are weighing heavily on the minds of everyone in the United States. Read Next: Learn More: From threatening to impose to following through on higher tariffs, so far, the Trump administration has implemented a 10% baseline tariff on all imported goods, though some countries face much higher levies as part of a reciprocal tariff trade policy. For example, tariffs on Chinese goods are particularly high, with a combination of pre-existing duties and new tariffs bringing the total to 55% for many products, according to the White House. Imported steel and aluminum have a 25% tariff, as do automobiles for imported cars and auto parts alike. Throughout the year, there are big shopping events such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Memorial Day sales. However, with certain tariffs just going into full swing and with the summer shopping season filled with Amazon's Prime Day, Fourth of July and others, what effects could American consumers feel as a result of Trump's ongoing trade wars with foreign nations? Jason Miller, associate professor of logistics in the Department of Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University's Eli Broad College of Business, told USA Today that prices are expected to rise by June and July of this year due to Trump's tariffs, just in time for Amazon's Prime Day. Miller suggested that prices on clothing, footwear, toys and games and small electrical appliances would be most notably susceptible to retail price increases. These are all significant categories for not just Amazon, but also competitors such as Target, Walmart and others. Shoes and toys could be particularly hard-hit, observing double-digit price increases in short order. This notion is reinforced by Trump himself as he supported his authority to impose tariffs and asked for understanding on behalf of commerce departments and shoppers alike. 'Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,' Trump said. 'Maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.' For You: As GoBrandWoven reported, Walmart has consistently been competing with Amazon's Prime Day event by launching its own tentpole sales event a week or so prior each year. This year, however, could be a bit different, particularly as Walmart is warning of broad-based price hikes in response to Trump's tariffs. During a recent earnings call, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon indicated that the company would have to raise prices in response to Trump's tariffs, regardless of the temporary lowering of rates. 'We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible, but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren't able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,' McMillon said. The president responded to McMillon's comments via a Truth Social post, wherein he pointed to the blue-and-yellow brand's significant profits and suggested that Walmart should 'eat the tariffs' and maintain current price levels. Trump's Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, suggested that Walmart would do so — at least to some degree. 'I was on the phone with Doug McMillon, the CEO of Walmart, yesterday. And Walmart is, in fact, going to, as you describe it, eat some of the tariffs, just as they did in '18, '19 and '20,' Bessent said to NBC's 'Meet the Press' correspondent Kristen Welker following Trump's post. It remains difficult to ascertain exactly how Walmart might handle the situation. While USA Today noted that inflation has cooled as of late, economists are warning of broad-based price hikes leading into the summer of 2025 — and perhaps beyond, potentially biting into Black Friday's sales later this year. The outlet quoted PNC chief economist Gus Faucher as stating that tariffs are likely to push inflation back into gear sooner rather than later. 'Even with the recent agreement between the Trump administration and China to reduce the most onerous import taxes, tariffs against all U.S. trading partners are much higher than they were at the beginning of 2025,' Faucher said. A second economist echoed the sentiment. Diane Swonk, KPMG's chief economist, said, 'This could be the last benign inflation report for a while,' referencing the past period of cooling inflation. KPMG's report also warned of the dangers associated with a bout of stagflation set to dog the U.S. economy and that uncertainty prevailed concerning several macroeconomic conditions.
