How the Derek Chauvin verdict will change the future of policing Wale Aliyu
Derek Chauvin’s guilty verdict brought about many emotions from the community and police.
“There are some folks that are saying, this is an isolated incident and to a certain extent, some of that’s correct,” said Harvard Police Chief Edward Denmark. “At the same time, if it happens at all, there’s room for improvement.”

Rural Massachusetts towns paid thousands less per acre than wealthier communities for state-owned land, report reveals
Updated Dec 10, 2020;
Savoy, a town of under 700 in Berkshire County, has 11,924 acres of land it can’t put on the tax property rolls because it’s state-owned, including the Savoy Mountain State Forest. The town gets close to $80,000 a year for the state-owned land, less than it would if the land were on the property rolls.
Yet Plymouth, a coastal town south of Boston, gets nearly nine times that amount for roughly the same amount of state-owned land. Plymouth gets more than $698,033 for 11,881 acres, which includes the Myles Standish State Forest.
