Comment on: Harvard study finds common pesticide kills bees - Metro - The Boston Globe
This study is important. Not only because of the implications of the data collected, but more importantly, the lack of adequate scrutiny by our protector, the EPA. It is simple common sense that a tox more »

Comment on: R.I., US agencies split $500m in Google revenues - Business - The Boston Globe

Comment on: MBTA proposes 23% fare hike, limited service cuts - Metro - The Boston Globe
Not a word about the Big Dig debt our "c----T" legislature dumped on the MBTA and its riders. Just another example of Beacon Hill pols playing games with the budget. It would be useful if the Globe di more »

Comment on: Foxborough, Krafts battle over billboards - Metro - The Boston Globe
One flaw in this story is -- no rationale for turning down the sewer project (and the Kraft cash) was given. I realize the story is about the billboard but there is often a lot more to it than the obv more »

Comment on: Does financial aid make college more expensive? - Ideas - The Boston Globe
Rolling1 has it right, they use the "robin Hood Principal"--- take from the rich. But they don't limit giving to students. Educators spend a lot on many things that have little to do with actual teach more »

Comment on: DA wonât investigate motive in Beverly officerâs shooting - Metro - The Boston Globe

Comment on: Mitt Romney facing hurdle in GOP debate - Nation - The Boston Globe
Romney is a business man and seems to be good it. Santorum is a religious zealot & ideologue and seems to have captured the attention of those who think alike. The problem is this: Government isn't a more »

While not a surprise,the worst part of this story is that it took 18 years to be resolved. A significant contributor to this debacle is our system of so called "justice". Courts are in all respects co more »

Comment on: To help start-ups, give visas to foreign entrepreneurs - The Boston Globe
The basic issue is: will we reward those who break our immigration laws and overstay their visas or simply walk across a border and exclude those who abide by our laws, enter and stay legally? Without more »
I assume the polls you cite are correct. But that is because Mass. is dominated by the Democrat Party and Democrat news media. Being an independent thinker and voter my take on Coakly is negative. Cah more »
