Cambridge, MA voted to lower voting age to 17; where are they now?

[Ms2001]

From the Boston Phoenix:

The city of Cambridge made history earlier this week. In a stunning 8-1 vote on March 25, the City Council passed an initiative that would allow 17-year-olds to cast ballots in municipal elections. True to its nickname, the People’s Republic has become the first city in the United States to grant high-school students the franchise.

The article goes on to say the initiative must be approved by the state legislature, but doesn’t say when they will consider it.

Well, it’s been three months. Has the initiative gone before the state legislature?
More generally, how have the citizens of Massachusetts reacted?
