Rep. Andy X. Vargas opens online meeting of state Commission on Structural Racism in the Massachusetts Parole Process.
Haverhill Rep. Andy X. Vargas is co-chairing the new state Commission on Structural Racism in the Massachusetts Parole Process.
Vargas, appointed by House Speaker Ronald Mariano, opened last week’s first meeting by quoting from the Aspen Institute’s definition of “structural racism.”
“‘Structural racism is not something a few people or institutions choose to practice. Instead, it has been a feature of the social, economic and political system in which we all exist.’ In other words, we’re not picking on the parole process here. Every single institution across our criminal justice system, our economic system, our financing system, our housing system has some element of structural racism embedded in it,” he said.

No fire trucks were damaged by champagne bottles as Haverhill celebrated the arrival of two new engines during a ceremony Thursday.
Instead of breaking bottles, the event served more as Haverhill Fire Chief Robert M. O’Brien and his Department’s proud show and tell of the two new custom trucks manufactured by Wisconsin-based Pierce Manufacturing. Deputy Chief Eric Tarpy oversaw the Committee that developed specifications for the new engines. He told WHAV the committee talked with area towns about their experiences, but the key criteria was outlined by the department’s mechanic.
