Happy Third-Best Father's Day, Dad! (And More, In The MA Week In Review)

By TODD RICHISSIN (Patch National Staff)

So, dads, we’re not No. 1. Or No. 2.

But take heart: If you’re working in Massachusetts, you’ve got it better than fathers in all but two states, according to a WalletHub survey released over the past week.

That may not seem like great news, especially compared to the top two states — Minnesota and New Hampshire — but we’ll take it. Just ask the dads in Nevada and Mississippi, where WalletHub says there’s no worse place to be a working father.

And with that bit of not-bad news, here’s a look at what else was happening around the state in our Massachusetts Week in Review.

(And check back with Patch on Monday for a full list of fireworks and other July 4th activities around the region.)
