Why Don’t We Know More? Nearly three months after the death of 5-year-old Hyde Park resident Lens Joseph, who was struck and killed by a school bus while crossing the street, the family of Lens is still looking for answers. No one has been criminally charged in the crash, which remains under investigation by the Suffolk County district attorney’s office and Boston police. The family of the Hyde Park kindergartener has filed a lawsuit against bus contractor Transdev and former bus driver Jean Charles, alleging negligence. Tonight, Dan asks the question, why don’t we know more about the investigation and driver?
What’s With All These Rats?! According to residents in South Boston, rats are running rampant in their neighborhood! Residents describe seeing rats more regularly out and about during the daytime, not just at night. Earlier this year, Tufts University did a study that found a deadly type of bacteria called leptospirosis persistent among Boston’s rat population. With that additional health concern, some Boston City Councilors are pushing for an office specifically focused on pest control and appointing a "Rat Czar" to tackle this problem. Are you seeing an increase in rats in your neighborhood?
