"Campaigns backing seven ballot questions dealing with the minimum wage, sales tax, paid family and medical leave, nurse staffing and a campaign finance commission turned in their paperwork to Secretary of State William Galvin’s office by a Wednesday deadline. 
The petitions have not yet been certified as having the 64,750 required to move on to the Legislature, the next step in the process.
