East Cambridge will stay a single district in the state House of Representatives, avoiding the split expected in a redistricting map proposed last week, state Rep. Mike Connolly said.

A sweeping, statewide change in political mapping could remove state Rep. Jay Livingstone entirely from Cambridge politics, giving him an all-Boston district while carving up the Cambridge part of his current 8th Suffolk District among state Rep. Mike Connolly and two newcomers.

A mailing from the Massachusetts Housing Coalition warning of tax increases from tenant protection laws is misleading, Cambridge and Somerville state Rep. Mike Connolly said.

A small group of Sunrise Movement Boston activists say they plan to gather Saturday to livestream a protest urging support for State House transparency amendments.

A fairly rote resolution of thanks to the speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives for years of service went a surprising direction Monday, with only one-third of Cambridge city councillors voting yes.
