MA doesn't require police to collect race/ethnicity data for roughly half of the traffic stops they make. @Jenny_Hinkle + I investigated why that is for @USATODAY . The state's most powerful lawmakers declined our interview requests. #mapoli

Why the fight to curb racial profiling via traffic stop data keeps failing in Mass.

Mass. legislative leaders under pressure from law enforcement have done little over the past two decades to address bias in traffic stops.

Thank you to all the brave people who are fighting cancer now, and talking about it on @WEEI and @NESN today. My mom is 60 – so many of them are children. They should inspire us all to live fully and donate to help those who battle this evil disease. Thanks for reading. -30-

#Worcester $180k settlement over public records with @telegramdotcom mentioned here as @WBUR looks at increasing payouts as a result of law making it easier to recover attorney's fees against public servants who illegally withhold records.

Government agencies in Massachusetts have long flouted the public records law. Now it's costing them thousands of dollars each to settle lawsuits.

Rest in Peace, John McCain. As the stepgrandson of a #WWII prisoner of war, I have so much respect for #POW and #EXPOW . Men who starved and endured the unimaginable so that we could be free. Thank you so much sir. #hero

For my $, the best business reporter in the city of #Worcester , hands down. I will miss Lisa's institutional knowledge, her ability to simplify complicated business matters into things I can understand, and, in the newsroom, her genuine kindness and willingness to help others.

Thankful to @FiveFreedoms for recognizing our work, and @JeffreyPyle1 for skillfully laying bare the bad faith legal claims #Worcester made to withhold these records for years. Proud to be part of this newspaper's long history of fighting to defend the principles of the 1A.

Another huge loss for #Worcester . Elaine is cool and calm - both in her personality and in way she cuts through spin and asks the tough questions in a straightforward way. We'll miss her enterprise reporting and her unique perspective as an amazing and trailblazing person.

We looked to the corner and saw Gary's well-worn cushion, used to defend against the hard courthouse benches, on a chair. The last daily log he ever handled, and the book he was reading that day, were neatly placed on top.

Christine has told stories through the lens of her camera that words can never tell. Any reporter knows the story is only as good as the photos you have to go with it. A true artist with a knack for spotting and capturing the poignant moment, her contributions are immeasurable.

A Kim Ring byline meant a thoroughly reported story, a fairly reported story, that included the right context and raised the tough questions. Kim gave a voice - with compelling writing - to so many, from crime victims/families to unidentified ashes that filled century old urns.

Was excited to meet Lana as a young reporter, and unlike some others in radio/TV, she had no ego and was very nice. Was always impressed over years how quickly she turned her notes into a polished newscast minutes later as people like me were still writing. Rest in Peace, Lana.
