English: 12.11.07 - Annual Christmas Tree lighting Ceremony
"On December 11, Governor Patrick made history when he threw the switch on the State House Christmas Tree in the early evening. For the first time, the capitol building’s 60-foot blue spruce shines without conventional incandescent bulbs, but with energy-efficient light emitting diodes (LED) – state-of-the-art holiday lighting that will save the Commonwealth hundreds of dollars this year and thousands more in years ahead while continuing the Patrick Administration’s implementation of higher standards for energy efficiency throughout state government." Byron Rushing speaks at the tree lighting ceremony. |

Definition of "public record"
Public records are defined in A Guide to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, Published by William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Division of Public Records, (Updated January 2017) at https://www.mass.gov/files/2017-06/Public%20Records%20Law.pdf on page 40, under M.

This is consistent with the statement at http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ARC/arcres/residx.htm:
Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may be "public records", their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to the image unless the contract with the agency says otherwise. See: Government-in-the-Sunshine Manual: To what extent does federal law preempt state law regarding public inspection of records?. |
