We examine the local impact of a recently passed state budget that could offer help to homeowners dealing with crumbling foundations.And, we discuss new developments on relicensing the Turners Falls Hydroelectric Project and Northfield Mountain Pumped Storage Project.Plus, Beacon Hill looks at reinstating the so-called “happy hour” for Massachusetts restaurants and bars, but not everyone is advocating it. And you may be surprised to find out who has objections!We’re running down all of that and more this week with Larry Parnass, executive editor for The Springfield Republican; freelance journalist Sarah Robertson; and Elizabeth Román, NEPM executive news director.
