The latest goal, as State spokesmen explain it, is a gradual "Mexicanization...
...state legislature passed the law, and 285 Massachusetts towns have since created conservation commissions. Both the state and federal governments have also put up matching funds that help the commissions buy land for public use. One result: all of the spectacular estuarine marshes from the New Hampshire border to Gloucester have been saved...
