news, Massachusetts residents are set to benefit
from some of the biggest federal tax cuts in
the nation, starting next year with taxpayers
in greater Boston. potentially saving more than
$7 ,000 on average under the new tax law. The
One Big Beautiful bill act not only makes the
2017 Trump -era tax cuts permanent, but also
introduces new deductions for tipped and overtime
workers, increases the child tax credit, and
ensures write -offs for business research and
equipment purchases are permanent. While areas
like Middlesex County may see average cuts of
over $7 ,000, lower -income regions will experience
smaller savings. However, this tax relief comes
with concerns, as cuts to services for low -income
Americans, such as food assistance and Medicaid,
could begin in 2027. Now onto sports. The Las
Vegas Raiders have traded a 20 -26 fifth -round
pick to the Cleveland Browns for quarterback
Kenny Pickett. Originally a first -round pick

wrist injury, which will sideline him for six
to eight weeks. Pickett, who was previously with
the Philadelphia Eagles, has shown promise in
limited appearances. Raiders coach Pete Carroll
emphasized the need for game experience in a
backup. Meanwhile, the Raiders are also signing
wide receiver Ameri Cooper to a one -year deal,

million last year after ticket sales failed to
cover expenses. The organization, adhering to
its philosophy of self -reliance and non -commodification,

operations. As attendance at regional gatherings
grows, many burners are questioning the future
