Is it time to quit technology cold-turkey?
BOSTON, Mass. (State House News Service)-- The State House will not have a "complete reopening" before the start of October, Speaker Ronald Mariano said Wednesday, adding that he is hopeful that the building will be at least more populated at that point as legislative leaders target some time in autumn to welcome the public back to Beacon Hill.
While introducing a package of House rules for debate Wednesday, House Speaker Pro Tempore Kate Hogan, the chamber's number-three Democrat, said their Oct. 1 effective date "will coincide with the timeline of the reopening of the State House." However, asked if Hogan's description was accurate, Mariano replied, "No, not a complete reopening."
