Annual Report of the Town Officers and Committees of the Town of Scituate Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2018 with funding from Boston Public Library https://archive.org/details/annualreportofto1990scit COLUMBIA 1773 The ship on the cover is the Columbia built in 1773 by James Briggs at Hobart’s Landing on the North River in Scituate. The ship was 212 tons, length 82/4 feet, beam 24 feet 2 inches. This was the most famous American ship built at that time. With Robert Gray as captain, she was the first ship to carry the Stars and Stripes around the world. Captain Gray discovered the Columbia River and named it after his ship. When the first shuttle went up into space, it was named Columbia by NASA in memory of the pioneering ship Columbia. This year, at Gray’s Harbor in Washington State, the keel has been layed for the building of a replica of the Columbia to be completed in 1992/3. 75TH ANNIVERSARY This is the 75th anniversary year of the Scituate Historical Society. The Society was organized in 1916 and incorporated by the State in August of 1917. We have an executive board consisting of six officers and six trustees. The Lighthouse, the Cudworth House and the Mann Farmhouse are under the custody and administration of the Society. The Little Red Schoolhouse, the Stockbridge Mill, the Old Oaken Bucket Homestead and the Cudworth Barn are all owned by the Society. We have over 700 members, hold four meetings a year, run six historic tours each year and every year we take hundreds of children through these sites teaching them about the history of Scituate.

    Campaign Finance Activity by Candidates for Statewide Office 1997-1998 Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance One Ashburton Place Boston, MA 02108 (617) 727-8352 / (800) 462-OCPF Candidates for the six statewide offices spent a record $27.9 million in the two-year period leading up to the Nov. 3 general election, with record spending for three offices, according to figures compiled by the Office of Campaign and Political Finance. On Nov. 24, 1998, OCPF released fundraising and spending totals for the 23 candidates who were on the primary and/or general election ballot, based on statements filed by the committees’ depository banks. Revised figures were released in April 1999. A revised copy of the study is attached. According to candidates’ reports for all races, a total of $25,049,581 was raised and $27,876,979 was spent from Jan. 1, 1997, through Nov. 15, 1998. Those two totals exceed the previous highs of $23.3 million and $24.7 million, respectively, that were reported in the 1990 campaign and are almost twice the amounts reported in the 1994 campaign. The 1998 figures show record receipts and expenditures in the races for Governor, Attorney General and Auditor. The greatest activity was reported in the race for Governor, where the six candidates reported raising $16,054,591 and spending $18,621,409. Those two figures are the highest gubernatorial totals ever reported by OCPF and the highest figures for any single statewide race. Gov. Paul Cellucci also set individual records for fundraising and spending by a statewide candidate.

  • The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy
    2016–2017 Annual Report The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy Rappaport Distinguished Visiting Professor Martin O’Malley presenting to students and faculty The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy at Boston College Law School was established through a gift from the Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation. The Center educates, supports, mentors, and inspires gifted law students interested in government and public policy, and convenes local, state, and national thought leaders to engage in robust discourse on relevant issues affecting government. Message from the Dean Vincent D. Rougeau I am pleased to report on a very exciting second year for the Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy at Boston College Law School. Through the generosity of the Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation, the Center became a part of BC Law School in 2015. The Center’s vision—to galvanize students, policy makers and thought leaders through dynamic programming that addresses important issues of law and public policy—was brought to life during our first year through the leadership of Faculty Director R. Michael Cassidy and Executive Director Vincent D. Rougeau Elisabeth J. Medvedow. Building upon this very successful foundation, our second year was marked by a number of dynamic conferences and programs on critical topics facing our democracy: race and policing, criminal justice reform, wealth inequality, state cooperation with immigration enforcement, and lifting the charter school cap in Massachusetts, among others. We also welcomed our first Rappaport Distinguished Visiting Professor, former Maryland Governor, former Mayor of Baltimore and recent presidential candidate Martin O’Malley. The Rappaport Fellows Program, a cornerstone of the Center that fosters the next generation of public policy leaders, continued to attract talented and dedicated students from seven Greater Boston-area law schools.

  • The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy a Message from the Dean
    ANNUAL REPORT 2018–2019 THE RAPPAPORT CENTER FOR LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN It is my great pleasure to report that the Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy had another stellar year, bringing to the forefront issues of vital importance to our communities, state, and nation. Focused on the theme of “Challenges to Constitutional Democracy,” the Center engaged law students, members of the Boston College community, and the public in robust dialogue on myriad issues relating to democracy, criminal justice reform, and higher education. Experts from near and far shared their knowledge on voting rights, impeachment, the Electoral College, campaign finance, criminal disenfranchisement, prosecutorial discretion, and the value of college completion. The Boston College Law School community continues to be greatly enriched by the Rappaport Center’s programming on significant and relevant topics. We were also enriched by the passion and commitment to public service of our two distinguished Jerome Lyle Rappaport Visiting Professors. In the fall of 2018, the Honorable Robert J. Cordy, former associate justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, shared his wisdom on combatting corruption and promoting the rule of law throughout the world. During the spring of 2019, we were honored to welcome one of our illustrious alumni, Dannel P. Malloy ’77, JD ’80, who joined us less than a week after stepping down from his eight-year tenure as governor of Connecticut. Governor Malloy taught us about integrating public policy, law, politics, and justice at the highest levels of state government. This year, we were again tremendously impressed by the Rappaport Fellows Program and the cohort of Fellows.
