- "Mass. State Police scandals: 'Ever increasing number of issues' could prompt oversight hearings or new policy changes," by Gintautas Dumcius, MassLive.com: "Massachusetts state lawmakers could take a deeper look into the problems within the State Police, with one top legislative leader raising concerns about the state of the law enforcement agency despite proposed reforms. Gov. Charlie Baker and Col. Kerry Gilpin, who took over as State Police superintendent in November, are pressing for reforms as the law enforcement agency is tarnished by a steady stream of scandals over the last six months, ranging from alleged overtime abuse to the scrubbing of an arrest report involving a judge's daughter."

YES!

Outside the State House, the head of the Massachusetts Democratic Party, Gus Bickford, and former Newton Mayor Setti Warren, one of three Democrats hoping to unseat Gov. Baker in November, have called for an independent investigation into the State Police troubles.

- "US Sen. Elizabeth Warren to black voters: 'All our fights are interconnected'," by Steve Peoples, the Associated Press: "Sen. Elizabeth Warren declared on Friday that the racism and bigotry that shaped housing policies in the United States for generations is still preventing African-Americans from owning homes.
