Proponents say this could help transport the Island's hazardous materials and trash, as well as increase transportation between the Vineyard and New Bedford. Time is of the essence, however, says Debby Packer, as the company has two years left on its current permit. It could take as many as seven years to get another. Read more |

Quote of the Day |
|
“This was a bold and brazen armed robbery carried out on a picturesque Island at the start of the day. Today’s sentence makes it clear that bank robbery is not an easy payday, it’s a federal crime, and the FBI and our partners will ensure perpetrators like Jones are held fully accountable.”
—Jodi Cohen, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, on the armed bank robbery in 2022. Miquel Jones was sentenced this week for leading the heist and corralling his brothers-in-law to join him. |
