Humid, Interior Storms

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:43:22 GMT

Figures… We finally pull off a dry summer’s day and our blue sky got obscured by smoke from the Canadian Wildfires. We’ll have more smoky haziness to the sky again today along with sunshine, sending temps into the mid to upper 80s. An air quality alert is in effect across interior New England for the smoke creating unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups from time to time. We also have a Flood Watch up across the interior too as scattered afternoon thunderstorm there will produce localized downpours, capable of street flooding, poor drainage flooding and small stream flooding. The big issue is not so much how much rain falls, but the fact the a quick localized 1-2″ on a saturated ground, will cause a lot of runoff. Close to the coast, today does look mainly dry, although some showers may clip Nantucket or the outer Cape.Worcester has already pushed into it’s 4th wettest July on record and most of New England has received 3-8″ above average rain...

Battenfeld: Michelle Wu’s reputation as liberal hero dented with Nixonian enemies list

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:43:22 GMT

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s national reputation as a progressive leader took a major hit with the revelation that she compiled a list of vocal critics and sent it to her police department.The Nixonian tactic of keeping an enemies list, which Wu justified as a security measure, might dent her image as a liberal darling in the national media.The popular Democrat, the first Asian American mayor in Boston’s history, might have her sights set on higher office in the coming years, with the possible opening of a U.S. Senate seat or appointment to a Democratic Biden administration.But the enemies list is just the kind of thing that could follow her around the country.The story about the list, first reported by the Boston Herald, went viral among conservative-leaning media outlets and social media sites, which compared her to former President Richard Nixon.Getting lumped in with Nixon, who was forced to resign in disgrace because of the Watergate scandal, is never a good thing in politics.Cri...

Robbins: Brawling Chris Christie shows no signs of backing down

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:43:22 GMT

Last week’s release of the second quarter’s fundraising figures for the 2024 presidential candidates produced two notable news stories.One was that Joe Biden and his associated fundraising arms raised $72 million between his late April re-election launch and June 30th. This financial haul, double what Donald Trump raised in the second quarter, poured 72 buckets of cold water on the “Dementia-Joe-isn’t-supported-by-Democrats” narrative that had gained currency, pushed and peddled by Republicans.And it was similarly unhelpful to the wishful thinking in Republican circles that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the candidate from Pluto, poses a “headache” for the President. This isn’t the case, except perhaps on Pluto.The other news was that former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, whose uphill battle for the GOP presidential nomination was initially deemed by pundits to be destined for a rapid flame-out, had already collected contributions from over 40,000 donors in the first 35 days of his ca...

Route 28 roundabout: Milton residents, officials say no, but state says yes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:43:22 GMT

The town of Milton has made its stance clear regarding ways to address safety on what MassDOT has declared as the most dangerous intersection in the state.Residents and officials don’t want the state to go forward with its plans of implementing a roundabout at the intersection of Route 28, or Randolph Avenue, and Chickatawbut Road, which serves as a gateway into Blue Hills Reservation.Instead, the town wants state transportation officials to turn to what they say would be short-term improvements, such as adjusting signal timing or incorporating left-hand turn signals.But even after recent letters from Sen. Walter Timilty and the Select Board that requested the state make such considerations, the Department of Transportation is not budging.“We have evaluated several options and have held numerous meetings with the town, stakeholders, and abutters,” MassDOT spokesperson Jacquelyn Goddard said in an email to the Herald on Friday. “Although we appreciate that a roundabout has impacts to...
