March 5, 2015 New England

“We’re hoping the end of the month, the end of March, that things can get done,” U.S. Rep. William Keating (D-Bourne) told the News Service on Monday. “We’ve got families that are really, really hurting,” said Frank Mirarchi, a fishing boat captain in Scituate. “This money will be a blessing.” Yes it will.
