New Coronavirus


Email from Gwen Scottgale: 
Thought this "Bio in the news" might be of interest in a lot of different courses and is international in context.
I have the text from the Washington Times below the Washington Post's link:

Community Preservation Act

If you live in Salem, you might be interested in this social event to raise awareness and funds to support the Community Preservation Act.  (Note: the CPA will result in a property tax rise (on average) of $9 per property per year; the state matches CPA funds from taxes.)

The CPA has done wonders for public space redevelopment in many other communities around MA and even neighboring Salem. Why Salem has not had the CPA in place yet is a mystery to me.

Our own Lucy Corchado worked very hard in a 4 day period to get the 1500 signatures required to put the CPA on the November ballot.
