Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:34:21 GMT

Shady ex-FBI agent John “Zip” Connolly’s “conditional medical release” is up before a Florida parole board next week.This means the former handler of murdered mobster James “Whitey” Bulger could be forced back behind bars.The 83-year-old Connolly was allowed to return to Massachusetts on a medical release on Feb. 17, 2021, because he had about a year to live after being called “terminally ill.” That estimated timeline of his demise has not proven correct.The Florida Commission on Offender Review voted 2-1 to grant Connolly’s medical release, allowing him to “finish out his life in sunshine,” as one supporter testified that day.Now, that same commission has Connolly on the agenda for Tuesday. Zip is 11th on the list of convicts set for “Parole and Conditional Medical Releases/Revocations” in a hearing slated to begin at 9 a.m.Connolly was convicted of second-degree murder in 2008 for wearing his FBI-issued sidearm when he me...

Boston’s economic rebound hindered by vacant office space, remote work, report finds

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:34:21 GMT

A new report paints a sobering picture of what the shift to remote and hybrid work could do to the city’s economy in the months and years ahead, given the reduction in foot traffic and spending seen in the downtown since the pandemic.“Urban Economies on the Precipice: A Tale of Six Cities,” a report issued Friday by the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, examines the post-pandemic challenge Boston and five other major cities face in replacing worker-driven economies and managing the impacts of vacant office buildings.“Office-worker-driven economies in major cities are taking permanent hits as hybrid/remote work reduces downtown time and money spent,” MTF states in a document accompanying the report. “As office leases expire, more empty buildings will stress owners, local businesses and city finances.”Office occupancy rates are half that of 2019, MTF states, pointing to data from Kastle Systems that show a 99% pre-pandemic rate.

GOFFSTOWN, N.H. — In 2020 and 2016 the signs in front of Denise Sherwood’s Manchester home would have featured the name of former President Donald Trump.Despite the fact the 45th president is on the Republican primary ballot for a third election cycle running and is dominating in the polls, Sherwood left an event at St. Anselm College held on Friday with a new lawn sign declaring her support for former U.N.
