The Massachusetts Legislature's Administration Committee on Monday considered a bill that would re-examine the state's seal. The bill, introduced by State Representative Byron Rushing, D-Boston, would form a commission to look at the seal. Rushing filed the bill in response to complaints from American Indians in the state who say the seal is inaccurate.
