Illegal Car Meetups in MA - Part 1

For our last broadcast hour of the week, we ask what’s the farthest place you’ve travelled to in the world or the farthest place you’d like to visit.

If you thought President Trump was a shoo-in to win the Nobel Peace Prize this year, think again! This year's Nobel Peace Prize went to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, despite Trump's recent involvement in a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, putting a stop to the 2-year war between the warring groups. Many supporters of Trump and those involved with the peace deal believe Trump was snubbed...but was he? Maybe it was just the timing of the voting period as a peace deal with Israel and Hamas just happened within the last day or so. Is it possible Trump may win next year's Nobel Peace Prize? What are your thoughts on the selection?

Charities & nonprofits like Operation American Soldier & Adopt a Platoon Southie Style whose mission it is to send care packages to troops overseas, is having a harder time sending out care packages to troops due to a new regulation put out by the Universal Postal Union, an agency of the UN. The new regulations are causing backorders and delays. Representatives from Operation American Soldier and Adopt a Platoon Southie Style joined us to explain.

Last weekend there were several illegal street takeovers that played out across Massachusetts including one in Boston, Randolph, Middleborough, Fall River, and Brockton. This growing nationwide trend of a “street takeover” is a meetup of people and cars that block off a street or streets to race or perform stunts and generate noise. Gov. Maura Healey addressed the trend Wednesday saying she’s committed to doing everything she can to get after the issue and pledged to punish anyone caught engaging in an illegal car meetup.
