A proposed bill to relax a 20-year-old Massachusetts law restricting shadows cast by tall buildings on the Boston Common and the Public Garden is one step closer to becoming law. 

Massachusetts lawmakers delayed a vote to relax a 20-year-old state law restricting tall buildings from casting shadows on the Boston Common and Public Garden.

The Massachusetts Secretary of State has asked for a two-week delay on a vote that would change state law regarding shadows created by tall buildings.
