Boston announces deal to buy prescription drugs from Canada
The city on Wednesday joined a short list of Massachusetts cities that allow city employees and retirees to buy prescription drugs from Canada, a move officials predict will save about $1 million in its first year.

Mayor Thomas M. Menino went ahead with the plan despite a federal prohibition on the practice and despite a meeting late last year during which Food and Drug Administration officials urged him to drop the proposal.
