Who Will Run for Kerry's Seat if He's Appointed Secretary of Defense?

Would it be Scott Brown? Congressmen Markey or Capuano? Tell us who you think should run.

The Washington Post is reporting that President Obama is considering appointing Massachusetts U.S. Sen. John Kerry as the Secretary of Defense. There was speculation Kerry would be the next Secretary of State.  Either way Kerry's move to possibly become a member of Obama's cabinet will open up his current seat. Should he be appointed, a special election would be held to finish out Kerry's term, which expires in 2014. Conversation from the breakfast table this morning to the morning commute has everyone talking - who will run for Kerry's U.S. Senate seat if he's appointed? Could it be Scott Brown? Or maybe Congressmen Ed Markey or Michael Capuano? Only time will tell, but we know you're talking about it. So tell us, who do you think will …

Capuano Paints Grim Picture of Green Line Funding

The congressman wants Somerville to get behind a "short-term" plan and said, "We should strike while the governor is in office."

  Rep. Michael Capuano attended the Somerville Board of Aldermen meeting Thursday night and painted a bleak picture when it comes to funding the Green Line extension into Cambridge, Somerville and Medford. "The state has not submitted … a plan on how to fund the Green Line. They haven't submitted it because they don't have the money. People have to wake up to that fact," the congressman said. "We've got to get realistic about this," he said, arguing that the city should push for a "short-term" solution to increasing rail access for residents.  That solution would involve extending the Green Line to the planned Washington Street station and Union Square station and then building Commuter Rail stops in other parts of Somerville.

Thank you, Dominick, for saying all the things I was saying, and so well. And A's following comment, too! As someone who lives just outbound of Gilman Square, the last thing I want to see is poor (i.e. infrequent) service that severely impacts air quality in the most damaging way possible (fine particulates) for me and a large percent of the people in Somerville.   more ›

Capuano Visits Medford, Talks Supercommittee, Redistricting

“It is mean, it is messy and it’s a lousy process, but it’s better than sitting on the sidelines and just complaining.” - Michael Capuano, talking about the political process

Congressman Michael Capuano, a Democract who represents Massachusetts' 8th District, spoke to Medford business people Wednesday afternoon at luncheon at Lawrence Memorial Hospital hosted by the Medford Chamber of Commerce. Here's some excerpts from what he had to say: On the Deficit Reduction "Supercommittee": “I have thought from day one that they will not achieve what they said they would achieve, especially when I saw who they put on there,” Capuano said. "There are two people on the Republican side, and I like them, but they are zealots." Capuano said he was referring to Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylania and Rep. Jed Hensarling, R-Texas. “They are not there to make a deal," Capuano said. "They are there to make sure no deal happens.” On …
