📰 News we're reading

• Former B-R baseball standout Casey Wensley signs with Angels (tauntongazette.com) — Taunton-area baseball fans may recognize local standouts in this update, as former Taunton High star Brayden Cali and other familiar names appear in a game featuring newly signed Los Angeles Angels prospect Casey Wensley. The Bridgewater-Raynham graduate’s strong college career at Bryant and Wheaton has earned him a shot in the Angels farm system, where he’ll forgo his senior season to turn pro.
   

• Time for a bone-afide pension fund (massterlist.com) — A Taunton Republican state senator helped add a new Retired Police Dog Care Fund to Massachusetts’ just-signed $63 billion budget, aiming to support nonprofits that cover costly medical care for K9s like Dakota. The fund currently has no state money, but can accept donations, while other Beacon Hill updates range from workplace-violence protections for healthcare staff to anti-poverty and light-pollution bills.
