He then struck out CJ Abrams for career K No. 1,001.Robertson became only the fourth pitcher to record 1,000 strikeouts only in relief.“It’s a big number I’ve been chasing for a while but I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to get to it or not, especially after a few years ago,” Robertson said Saturday afternoon at Nationals Park. “I look at it like the accomplishments that [Max] Scherzer and [Justin] Verlander have gotten. They get to 3,000 and to get to 1,000 for a reliever is a big deal.”It was a milestone he ...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:11:49 GMT

A push to digitize state lottery sales and prevent changes to a once-obscure tax cap law are among the thousand-plus amendments senators filed this week to their fiscal 2024 budget proposal.A total of 1,049 amendments were filed to the Senate’s fiscal 2024 budget with the largest number pertaining to health and human services. Senators are scheduled to debate the budget starting May 22, and will likely take several days to wrap up deliberations.An amendment filed by Sen. Ryan Fattman, a Sutton Republican, would delete budget language that exclude revenue from an income surtax known as the “Fair Share Amendment” from state tax revenue cap calculations under Chapter 62F.That part of state law was triggered last year when revenues exceeded the annual cap for fiscal 2022 by $2.9 billion. Eligible taxpayers received refund checks from the state that roughly equaled 14% of their personal income tax for 2021.Chapter 62F was established through a successful ballot initiative in the 19...

Amid violence, Boston Schools and Police look to formalize response agreement

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:11:49 GMT

Boston Public Schools and the Police Department are formalizing an agreement that would clarify when officers should be called to respond to violence and other safety incidents occurring on school property.Officials said the memorandum of understanding would not put police officers back in schools, but it would clear up some of the confusion that followed the Massachusetts Police Reform Act of 2020, and ensure clarity as to each department’s obligations under that law.The agreement has been in the works for the past two years, according to Superintendent of Schools Mary Skipper, and comes amid a recent spate of violence in the district and poll results released last month that indicated two-thirds of BPS parents had concerns about their children’s safety.“We’re living in a time where incidents of violence in schools are becoming more and more common, and we see it in cities across the country,” Skipper said at a Friday City Council subcommittee meeting on school safety.“So I do hear...
