BOSTON — Lynn Mayor Thomas M. McGee and the city's state delegates are asking that funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) be used to improve water quality at King's Beach.

At a hearing of the Joint Committee on Ways and Means Friday, McGee, state Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn) and state Reps. Lori Ehrlich (D-Marblehead), Daniel Cahill (D-Lynn) and Peter Capano (D-Lynn) asked that some of the state's $4.8 billion in federal funding be directed to finding a solution to the ongoing pollution issues at the beach.
