POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: SENATE cash dash — HEALEY’s gun ban upheld — New hires for WARREN and MOULTON



- "Federal judge upholds Massachusetts assault weapons ban, dismisses lawsuit launched after 'copycat' crackdown," by Gintautas Dumcius, MassLive.com: "A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit brought by gun owners, advocates and dealers amid Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey's crackdown on 'copycat' assault weapons in 2016."

- "Massachusetts lawmakers OK bill calling for rape kit testing," by the Associated Press: "Legislation aimed at prioritizing the testing of rape kits for possible DNA evidence is awaiting Republican Gov. Charlie Baker's signature before becoming law. The bill includes a requirement that all existing untested kits associated with a reported crime be submitted for testing within 180 days."


- "Wynn's presence in Mass. could be in doubt amid investigation," by Jon Chesto, Boston Globe: "The fate of Wynn Resorts' license for a $2.4 billion gambling palace it is building in Everett now hinges on a state investigation that may not be resolved until sometime this summer. After Massachusetts Gaming Commission chairman Stephen Crosby said Wynn's continued work in Everett is being done on an 'at-risk basis,' speculation has swirled during the past week that the Nevada company might look for an exit."



- "Rail officials knew that judge's son had poor driving record, yet made him an engineer," by Andrea Estes, Boston Globe: "The former operator of the state's commuter rail system said earlier this year that it was unaware one of its engineers had a poor driving record - more than 80 pages long - when it put him behind the controls of a locomotive train. But internal records obtained by the Globe indicate that the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company, which operated the system until 2014, knew that Roberto Ronquillo III had had his license suspended twice after being pulled over for drunken driving."
