Today's riddle: What day of the year is trucker's day? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Burlington Police officer arrested in alleged bloody assault (bostonherald.com) — A Burlington police lieutenant has been charged with assault and battery on a family member and witness intimidation after an incident at his home where officers reported extensive blood and injuries to his wife. He has pleaded not guilty, is on paid administrative leave, and faces a pre-trial hearing in Woburn District Court while Burlington's police chief promises a thorough, impartial internal review.
• Burlington Board of Health Approves Local Kratom Ban (bcattv.org) — Burlington's Board of Health has unanimously approved a local ban on all kratom products, adding steep fines and permit suspensions for violators that remain in effect beyond the state's temporary order. The new rules, driven by safety concerns over unregulated products, mean any manufacturer or retailer in town faces penalties up to permit revocation for repeated offenses.
• Press Release Governor Healey Announces More Than $5.2 Million to Expand Career Pathways in the Life Sciences (mass.gov) — Burlington residents interested in biotech careers could benefit from a $500,000 Pathmaker grant to Northeastern University's Biopharmaceutical Analysis & Training Lab in town, funding 53 training seats in cutting-edge manufacturing skills. The award is part of more than $5.2 million statewide to expand life sciences career pathways, with programs in several Massachusetts communities aimed at preparing residents for entry-level industry jobs.
