The Hopkinton Fire Department hosted their annual open house. This year the HFD hosted a cooking safety demonstration to reinforce the importance of practicing safe measures while using the stove and how quickly a fire could spread in your home if a safe cooking area is not maintained and also the benefits of home fire sprinklers.

Today State Treasurer Deborah Goldberg and her Office of Economic Empowerment (OEE) testified in support of House Bill 1157 and Senate Bill 1999, An Act addressing the racial wealth gap, at the Joint Committee on Financial Service’s hearing and the Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight’s hearing. These bills aim to create a Baby Bonds program, which would establish an at-birth publicly funded trust fund for eligible Massachusetts children.
