A group of business owners who unsuccessfully sought last year to overturn Governor Charlie Bakerâs emergency powers during the pandemic is petitioning the
Supreme Court to review the case, according to its lawyer, potentially extending whatâs been a yearlong challenge to the Republican governorâs authority.
Michael P. DeGrandis, an attorney with the New Civil Liberties Alliance thatâs representing the business owners, argued Monday that the stateâs Supreme Judicial Court erred in rejecting its lawsuit to overturn the dozens of emergency orders Baker has issued to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Union officials said the state Department of Correction failed to inform them about former death row prisoners being transferred to other facilities as Connecticut prepares to close its maximum security prison.
“There was no notice,” said AFSCME Local 391 President Collin Provost, who represents 1,500 DOC employees, including correction officers, kitchen supervisors, maintenance staff, correction counselors and others. “It’s discouraging when you get a call from one of your members saying, ‘Hey a death row inmate wound up in my general population, why didn’t they tell anyone?’”

A man has been sent to prison after he sexually assaulted a woman in Hatfield Garden Village last year.
Steven Carlisle, 23, of Manor Parade, Hatfield, was sentenced to two years and six months in prison at St Albans Crown Court, and has also been placed on the sex offenders register for an indefinite period.
The court heard that at around 4.50pm on Friday, March 20 last year, a woman in her 50s was walking her dogs along Great Braitch Lane when she noticed Carlisle behind her.
