Warmer spring days meant the people at New England Wildlife Center in Weymouth had to say farewell to an animal they’d been caring for all winter: a tiny and “very handsome” brown frog, according to Zak Mertz, the center’s CEO. A local family found the spring peeper outside their home in the fall. It was getting cold, and the frog wasn’t yet in a safe hibernation spot, Mertz explained. So they brought him into the center, where the peeper has been spending his days in a terrarium full of leaves.

“He’s eating OK, his weight is maintaining and he’s negotiating his environment the way that he should if he was out in the wild,” said wildlife veterinarian Greg Mertz, Zak’s father and the center’s former director.

GBH’s Craig LeMoult joined the father-son team as they released the peeper next to a vernal pool. You can come along on their journey here.

Four Things to Know

Tariffs announced by the White House this week will add an extra 46% tax to the price of goods imported from Vietnam. Jennifer Nguyen, owner of Ba Le Restaurant and Bakery in Dorchester, said she imports a lot of her ingredients from Vietnam , so the tariff news has been a major source of anxiety. “Everybody almost cried. It’s 46%. I don’t think it is easy to cover. Nobody can do the math for that,” Nguyen said. It’s not just a concern for Nguyen: the U.S. also imports sportswear, shoes and furniture from Vietnam.

IDs for returning citizens: People being released from prison sometimes find themselves without an ID card — because their driver’s license or ID card expired while they were behind bars, or because they never got one to begin with. Without a valid ID, they can’t apply for jobs, open bank accounts or pick up certain prescriptions. The Department of Correction and Registry of Motor Vehicles have been working on changing that: last year, almost 700 of the 1,600 people leaving state prisons had their photos and signatures taken before their release date, so their new IDs were ready for them when they got out.

Not so fast in the bike lane: Boston city officials have reviewed changes to city streets from the last 15 years and concluded that the city may have moved too fast in some cases, adding some bike and bus lanes without enough community feedback . That doesn’t mean all the bike and bus lanes are disappearing, but some flex posts — those temporary white plastic poles that separate bike lanes from car traffic — might become less common. Galen Mook, executive director of the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition, said he would like to know how city officials plan to keep people safer. “I want to hear from the top that what they are trying to do with city streets is keep people alive,” Mook said.

Reading has its first mosque, which opened in a building that used to be a Rite Aid pharmacy and had been vacant for five years. The North American Foundation of Islamic Services bought the building and moved in after years of renting out other spaces in Stoneham and Woburn. “The further you get away from Boston — Peabody, Danvers, all these areas where I’m from — you’re not going to find anything like this,” Kosai Estowani of Peabody said. While the building was under construction, the organization sometimes used the First Congregational Church of Reading for Jummah prayers on Fridays. “A lot of people might think, ‘Well, you know, are there enough Muslims in Reading to have a mosque?’” said Rev. Emelia Attridge of the congregational church. “And that’s not the right question. The right question is, ‘Who am I maybe not noticing in my community?’”

Amid fed funds squeeze, millionaire’s tax money gives Mass. a chance to invest in new programs

Massachusetts lawmakers have some hard decisions ahead as they try to craft a state budget without being able to count on federal dollars. But advocates are looking at one source of revenue that’s significantly smaller, but still reliable: funding from the state millionaires’ tax.

A reminder: the measure, officially known as the Fair Share Amendment, is a tax on income over $1 million. Voters approved it in 2022. Any revenue from the tax has to be spent on public education or transportation — K-12 schools or public colleges, roads, bridges, buses, trains, and so on. This year’s pot of Fair Share money comes to about $1.3 billion. It’s a small percentage of the state’s full $57 billion budget, but a significant chunk of cash nonetheless.

In a letter to lawmakers, a group of advocates wrote that this money “is very likely the only way to get new funding to increase a current program or fund a new one” this year.

“If we didn’t have this money today, we would be debating hiking fares or cutting service at the T. We would be debating layoffs in public colleges, or tuition hikes,” said Andrew Farnitano, a spokesperson for Raise Up Massachusetts, which campaigned for the tax. “We would be making some really tough choices in our public education and transportation systems, and because we have the money from Fair Share, we’re able to have a much more positive conversation about how to make new investments, because the need is so great.”

Gov. Maura Healey has a proposed budget in which Fair Share Amendment money goes to the MBTA ($780 million), to workforce training for bus systems outside the Boston area and to create more seats at childcare programs and vocational high schools, among other projects.

Michael Curry, CEO of the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers, said spending the money on English language classes for immigrants, youth jobs, workforce training and programs for people getting out of prisons can “provide residents with the tools they need to build a better tomorrow.”

“This is an opportunity to reshape the future of our communities,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to break the cycle of poverty, to create sustainable career paths and to build a more equitable and just society for all.”
