WASHINGTON In 2018 during her first run for Congress, then-candidate Jahana Hayes said she wouldn’t take campaign contributions from corporate political action committees as part of her commitment to clean up the influence of money in politics.
But now as a two-term congresswoman, Hayes, D-5, has accepted $102,000 for her campaigns from PACs run by many of the nation’s largest corporations, Federal Election Commission filings show.
TAUNTON Weir Village s newest restaurant Riverhouse curated some COVID-safe winter fun by offering outdoor patio seating with lights, music and most excitingly heated igloos.
But with temperatures beginning to warm, if you want to experience the magic, you ll need to book an igloo before the end of this month, when the restaurant plans to retire the igloos for the year.
General Manager and Co-Owner Cheryl Latour opened the restaurant with her co-owners Marc Mason, Nicholas Pothier and Leslie Hutchison on Nov. 7, 2020.
When they opened, Latour said, they had to make sure tables were six feet apart and could only have 40% of their restaurant capacity filled. With the restaurant s seating so restricted, she searched for ways to expand it within what space she had available.
