This week’s Seven Days is the annual love and marriage issue. (That’s the Pinterest-inspired cover over on the right.) Rest assured that despite the wedding bells, this week’s news and politics stories are as contentious as ever.
- The State Police Advisory Commission exists to hold state law enforcement accountable. Critics say it’s failing in its mission.
- One gun control measure in the Statehouse already sputtered out this year, but here comes a new one, tackling high-capacity ammo clips, background checks and more. Does it stand a chance of passing?
- New details have been revealed in the 2011 case of a prostitution ring for migrant farmworkers — including new customers and co-conspirators.
- In Fair Game: Gov. Peter Shumlin stands by his much-maligned plan for new childcare subsidies. Plus, more global trips for the governor, the Legislature takes on the F-35 and a former Massachusetts governor settles down in Vermont (not the one that just ran for president).
