The New 5th Worcester District |
|
The Special Joint Committee on Redistricting has released the new districts and because of population increase over the state, the 5th Worcester district has changed. The district no longer encompasses Templeton, Phillipston and Petersham, while it has added Hubbardston, Oakham, East Brookfield and another district in Spencer. Although these changes do not go into effect for another year, it is important to make the transition as smooth as possible so as to help the people to the best of my ability. This and all the new districts can be viewed at http://www.malegislature.gov/ under the redistricting tab. |

Gobi Signs on to Child Protection Bill |
|
Gobi Signs on to Child Protection Bill Boston, MA – State Representative Anne Gobi (D-Spencer) joined a bipartisan coalition of colleagues in the Legislature in signing onto a bill that will require parents or guardians to report missing children. “It seems commonsense that a parent would notify authorities if their child went missing,” said Gobi. “Sadly, this doesn’t always happen.” The bill was filed by Rep. David Linsky (D-Natick) following the highly publicized Casey Anthony trial. Anthony was on trial for the murder of her 2-year old daughter, Caylee. Caylee had been missing for over 30 days before police were notified by a grandparent of her disappearance. “This case captivated people across the nation,” said Gobi. “While everyone formed their own opinion about whether or not this poor girl was murdered by her mother, I was contacted by many constituents who were equally shocked that a parent could go so long without even reporting their child missing. People just couldn’t believe that this was legal.” The bill that Gobi is supporting would require that a parent or guardian report a missing child within 24 hours of the disappearance. In addition, the bill requires that parents or guardians report the death of a child within 24 hours. Not doing so would become punishable by up to 5 years in prison, and the potential for thousands of dollars in fines. “The Casey Anthony trial is an extreme example,” said Gobi, “but if passed, this bill will hold parents accountable should a situation like what happened in Florida ever arises in Massachusetts.” |
