After a nearly hour-long tour through The Nash Casino, where the bright lights flickered and the celebratory sounds of gaming machines rang out with each win, state Rep. Thomas Schamberg had just one thing to say: The casino seems to have “the right philosophical approach.” On Wednesday evening, New Hampshire legislators toured the 130,000-square-foot space at the state’s border in Nashua — part of the casino’s parking lot is in Massachusetts — to better understand how charitable gaming establishments have evolved. The visit comes as lawmakers consider several bills this session that could legalize slot machines — also known as…

PEABODY – It wasn’t how head coach Scott Boyle and the Lowell High football team wanted to start the preseason. Lowell – who posted a 4-7 season on the turf last fall while missing the state tournament – suffered an 0-4 showing at last summer’s Northeast 7-on-7 tournament. The Red Raiders are hoping their East Regional Open Division championship on Saturday at Bishop Fenwick will be the first domino to fall in a comeback campaign this fall.

We can protect ourselves and our medical providers by passing Massachusetts Medicare For All as proposed in bills S.860 and H.1405. The Healthcare Finance Committee must vote to pass these bills. President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are kicking millions of people off health care. Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA will be severely cut. Alarmingly, a new model of claim validation uses artificial intelligence. UnitedHealthcare is a notorious example. AI is imprecise and fallible; UnitedHealthcare’s AI denied approximately 33% of valid claims. The new budget mandates using AI to “reduce and recoup improper payments” made by Medicare, with quotas.

The pendulum has swung so viciously that the team can endure the obvious bumps ahead in the road but embrace the little victories along the way. You have to go back to the 2016-17 season to find the last time…
