The new research didn’t reveal the kind of exploitation detailed in a 2015 New York Times investigation that found new workers who had to pay salon owners for their spots and worked without pay for months. But Massachusetts can take steps to improve income stability and working conditions, which will help transform nail salon work into a more sustainable livelihood, project partners said. In New York, for instance, nail salon workers have a bill of rights, and California has a program to recognize salons that have adopted healthy workplace practices. “The nail salon industry has … helped to provide income in the past to raise up entire generations,” said Thao Ho, staff attorney at Greater Boston Legal Services’ Asian Outreach Center, which coauthored the report.

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Riding the NYC Ferry now costs more. A fare increase took effect Monday, raising the price of a one-way ticket to $5, up 50 cents from the previous fare. The cost of a 10-trip pass also increased, rising by $1 to $30. Discounted one-way fares increased by 5 cents to $1.50. The fare hike comes as the city grapples with higher operating and fuel costs. The New York City Economic Development Corporation, which oversees the ferry system, cited those rising expenses as the reason for the increase. The changes took effect immediately for riders using the city's ferry network.----------* Get Eyewitness News Delivered * More New York City news* Send us a news tip* Download the abc7NY app for breaking news alerts * Download our connected TV app Submit a tip or story idea to Eyewitness NewsHave a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover?

It’s been a sore subject for a lot of years,” said select board member Casey MacDonald, speaking Tuesday night outside the Bethlehem Public Library on Main Street. “And now, it’s like, oh, we’re here — but we’re not quite there yet.”What is changing? Casella Waste Services announced at the beginning of October that Dec. 31 would be the last day the landfill accepts municipal solid waste. That is earlier than the company’s previous estimates. As recently as this summer, town officials heard estimated closing dates in 2027 from Casella, Bethlehem Select Board member Nancy Strand said in a phone interview Wednesday. Casella Vice President of Communications Jeff Weld said in a Wednesday email that the company had been discussing closure timeframes with community representatives for the past year. The announcement wasn’t too much of a surprise, Strand and other officials said.

While Republican Steve Hilton has spent months jackrabbiting around California during his long-shot bid for governor, Democratic front runner Xavier Becerra just recently emerged from quasi hibernation and stepped into political daylight. Hilton has blasted Becerra as taking the state’s voters for granted, failing to hold public campaign events to explain his detailed plans to address California’s many ills. Despite pledging to participate in multiple debates, Becerra brushed aside several invitations, agreeing to just a solitary one-hour face-off against Hilton on CNN in late September. That month, Hilton held 14 public events, a dozen more than Becerra, but the Democrat’s spokesperson said he appeared at multiple functions sponsored by other groups. Hilton wasn’t buying it. “He is a useless nothing, a totally unaccomplished pipsqueak who is so smug, so arrogant, so entitled, that he somehow thinks he’s owed this job just because he was picked as a useful puppet by the Sacramento machine,” Hilton, a former Fox News commentator and British political strategist, said last week in West Sacramento. On Oct. 10, Becerra, a longtime member of Congress and Biden’s secretary of the U. S.

There are myriad public transportation challenges for the next Los Angeles mayor, but perhaps none is more visible than the long-awaited Skylink people mover train at Los Angeles International Airport. The 2.25-mile train, designed to whisk people from airline terminals to ground transportation, is years behind schedule and more than $1 billion over its original construction budget — bogged down by technical issues and a court battle between the contractor and city airport officials. And now it has become one of the more contentious issues in the mayoral race between incumbent Karen Bass and challenger Nithya Raman. Raman says Bass and the the city’s board of airport commissioners, which the mayor appoints, haven’t done enough to keep costs in check and to ensure construction deadlines are met. “Over two years ago, when the project was already a year behind schedule, Mayor Bass’s airport commissioners cut a $550 million check in order to cover project cost overruns and supposedly to secure a start service in January of this year, 2026,” Raman said in a statement to The Times.

PROVIDENCE — Rhode Island’s economy and income are lagging behind the growth seen nationwide, according to a Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council report released Monday. Between fiscal years 2019 and 2024, Rhode Island’s per capita personal income grew more slowly than the nation’s — 25 percent vs. 32 percent — and Rhode Island fell in that national ranking from 16th to 22nd. As a result, the state’s tax and spending rankings rose when measured against residents’ ability to pay: In total spending, Rhode Island rose from 24th to 18th highest, relative to personal income, and in tax revenues, it rose from 15th to 13th. “The cost of state and local government is outpacing Rhode Islanders’ ability to pay,” RIPEC president and CEO Michael DiBiase said in a statement. “Because our economy is growing more slowly than the nation’s, the same level of taxing and spending is taking a bigger bite out of Rhode Islanders’ incomes.”Get Rhode MapA weekday briefing from veteran Rhode Island reporters, focused on the things that matter most in the Ocean State.

The murky, magnificent Eel River was once a highway for the Wailaki people, who navigated by canoe and hauled goods between villages in cone-shaped baskets. But the tribe was forced out during the Gold Rush and, decades later, a railroad was built along the river in this verdant stretch of Humboldt County. Perry Lincoln, whose grandmother came from one of those villages, today sees another affront — the Great Redwood Trail, a 307-mile path planned along the remnants of the long-gone railroad that cuts through his ancestral land. When they first learned of the project a few years ago, he says, some people, both Native and non-Native, thought: “But wait a minute, this is kind of wrong. You’re just kind of shoving it down our throats.” A line on the T-shirt Lincoln wore summed up his feelings: “No trail on my ancestors’ bones.”Tribal members and allies formed a group, the Kinest’e Community Coalition, to have a say in the project, protect sacred sites and ultimately reroute the trail. They maintain the state approved a path that will allow tourists to amble over graves without their consent.
