Green Jobs Growing in Massachusetts

When almost every industry seems to be pulling back, energy and
environmental companies are showing new life. Massachusetts is setting
the stage to be one of the premier hubs of "Green Jobs" with over 20
new companies setting up headquarters in the state, and also with the emergence of new legislation passed into law including the state's first "Green Jobs Act." Matt Porter reports on companies and training programs now operating in the state.

State's financial future may rest in ballot questions

Barack Obama and John McCain dominate national headlines, but for Massachusetts voters, the most important decision they make may be yes or no. Three questions are asked of Massachusetts voters, including whether or not the state income tax should be repealed. Some believe that this will force government to be less wasteful while others see the 12 billion dollar cut as a severe risk to public services in health, education, and police and fire departments.
