In Boston Judge Morace orders the attorney general to file answers by tomorrow afternoon in a Superior Court case brought by Rep Mary B Newman of Cambridge. The petition seeks to compel a state secretary to issue forms for a referendum on the Mount Greylock Tramway amendment, arguing the act is not a special act and thus subject to referendum.
