š° News we're reading
ā¢ Beacon Hill Roll Call: Sept. 7 to Sept. 11, 2026 (recorder.com) ā Southwick residents can see how their state representative, Nick Boldyga, lines up with Republican leadership, with data showing he votes with his party most of the time but not always. The report breaks down how often Democrats, Republicans, and an unenrolled member back their leaders, and also highlights statewide issues like housing permitting reforms and booming cannabis sales.
