• Massachusetts News Roundup 9-6-26 (gardnermagazine.com) — Massachusetts' busy news week includes a Supreme Judicial Court ruling against the Quincy mayor's plan to place religious statues at a public building, finding it unconstitutional. Quincy residents may want to note this decision as it shapes how religion and government interact locally. The broader roundup also covers major trials, elections, public health concerns, and statewide infrastructure changes.
   

• Antonio (Tony) Politano, 84 (thequincysun.com) — Longtime Quincy resident Antonio "Tony" Politano, 84, has passed away, leaving a large extended family and many friends who knew him from his decades in the city. After immigrating from Italy, he built a life in Massachusetts through barbering, construction, and real estate, raising his family in Quincy. Visiting hours and funeral services will be held this week at Keohane Funeral Home and Most Blessed Sacrament Church, with burial at Pine Hill Cemetery in Quincy.
