Republican congressional candidate and conservative firebrand Bill Hudak of Boxford has announced he is leaving the 2012 congressional race, saying he's simply too busy. “A business opportunity has presented itself to me, which in addition to my active law practice will involve substantial amounts of my time and effort for the balance of the year,” Hudak said in a statement announcing his decision. Hudak said he will instead set his sights on 2014 and added that "other personal factors" are involved in his decision. While he did not elaborate on that, he said that those issues will be resolved by the end of this year. “I need my supporters to know that I am humbled by the outpouring of …

I agree leantoright, we are all better off with a "moderate" choice like Tisei vs the staunch conservative Hudak, who actually refuses to back Tisei due to Tisei's left leaning tendancies. Talk about money machines, can't wait to see the GOP roll out their SuperPac machine in order to unseat Tierney, ought to get very nasty!!! more ›

U.S. Senator Scott Brown spoke to local business owners at the Wakefield Chamber of Commerce meeting in Stoneham on Friday about the best way to get the economy - and the job market - back on track.
If business in America is a party, the U.S. government is a wet blanket. Or so said U.S. Senator Scott Brown (R-Mass.) to members of the Wakefield Chamber of Commerce on Friday in Stoneham. Sen. Brown said that too much regulation, too many taxes, and too much government is standing in the way of the country's economic recovery, and the only answer to the country's economic woes is to stimulate the private sector to start putting people back to work. "The most surprising thing I found when I got to Washington was how little amount of time they spend on creating jobs, and creating an environment to create jobs," said Sen. Brown. "They believe spending more money and growing the size of government is the answer. I believe that you should …

Check out our new "Ask Your Official" feature.
We asked our readers as well as those from Reading and Woburn to ask Rep. Jim Dwyer some government-related questions and here are his responses: 1. Based on the below data, how does it make sense that Wellesley gets more chapter 70 aid per public school student than Stoneham or Woburn?
