Weather forecast:
• Massachusetts man sentenced for obtaining 200+ kilos of filler powders that makes millions of counterfeit pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine (fallriverreporter.com) — A major federal drug case tied directly to Cambridge led to the seizure of suspected counterfeit Adderall pills containing methamphetamine and a firearm during a 2024 search in the city. A Massachusetts man has now been sentenced to 13 years in prison for large-scale counterfeit pill manufacturing and related fraud, following an investigation that involved Cambridge Police and multiple federal agencies.
• Hayfields to Harvard (gazettextra.com) — A newly admitted Harvard-Berklee Joint Studies student will soon be calling Cambridge home as she moves here in August to start her undergraduate studies. Her journey from working on a Tennessee family farm to earning a full-tuition scholarship highlights the kind of determined, community-minded students who will be joining Cambridge’s academic community later this summer.
• Transparency on tap during feisty debate between Decker and MacKay (cambridgeday.com) — Cambridge voters got a spirited look at state Rep. Marjorie Decker and challenger Evan MacKay as they clashed over transparency, corruption, and legislative power in a debate for the 25th Middlesex seat, entirely within the city. Both candidates sparred on public records, stipends, term limits, and omnibus bills, while still finding rare agreement on the need for stipend reform.
