    by Letters to the Editor on October 30, 2026 at 4:30 am

We have an exciting, energetic, educated candidate who can advocate for our interests on Beacon Hill — Connor Murray. He is just the type of person we need on Beacon Hill, now.

Recipients of those May grants included several vocational-technical high schools, among them Greater Lowell Regional Vocational Technical School ($2,500,000), The
