The Joints Are Jumpin.' Dorchester Reporter “The News and Values Around the Neighborhood” Volume 30 Issue 25 Thursday, June 20, 2013 50¢ MOUNTAINTOP MOMENT FOR clAss OF ’13 Dems gearing up for Markey as he and GOP’s Gomez near finish line Us senate vote is Tuesday By Gintautas Dumcius news eDitor In the wake of primaries in US Senate and state Senate races, and a general election for a state Senate seat, Dorchester and Mattapan voters will go to the polls next week for the third time in three months. This time, on June 25, it’ll be to choose John Kerry’s successor. US Rep. Ed Markey, a Malden Democrat, and newcomer Gabriel Gomez, a Cohasset Republican, are the two candidates on the ballot, survivors of the April 30 primary that winnowed the fields on either side. The public’s interest in the special election – set in motion in December when Kerry was tapped as President Obama’s chief diplomat – has been sluggish by most accounts. Voter listlessness was on display on Sunday at Roxbury Community College where the candidates faced off in a forum put together by MassVOTE Elizabeth Seton Academy’s class of 2013 posed for a photo outside of the school on Thurs., May and other groups. About 70 people trickled into the 26. Hoang Ngan Hong Tran delivered the valedictory address during the graduation ceremony at college’s media arts auditorium to watch Markey and St. Gregory’s Church. A full list of graduates from Seton Academy and several other Boston high Gomez hammer away at each other. The candidates schools is published in this week’s Reporter on Pages 16-17.

    Ronald Reagan, SDI, and the Nuclear Freeze: Reordering the Ethics of Mass Destruction A Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of History Jacqueline Jones, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Joseph Brown July 2008 Copyright by Joseph Brown July 2008 ABSTRACT Ronald Reagan, SDI, and the Nuclear Freeze: Reordering the Ethics of Mass Destruction A master’s thesis presented to the faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts by Joseph Brown By proposing the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), Ronald Reagan co-opted the rhetoric of the nuclear freeze movement and reversed the relationship that had previously existed between himself and his anti-nuclear opponents. Prior to Reagan’s announcement of SDI, the nuclear freeze movement played the role of the ethically principled critic, denouncing Reagan for perpetuating the nuclear arms race and the policy of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). By adopting a proposal for space-based missile defenses, Reagan took on the role of the peace-loving nuclear critic. The Strategic Defense Initiative eclipsed the ethical appeals of the nuclear freeze movement, promising the eventual abolition of nuclear weapons. Ironically, the nuclear freeze movement found itself promoting MAD, because its own proposal to halt the arms race would do nothing to change the dynamic of offensive nuclear deterrence between the United States and the Soviet Union. Although Reagan openly advocated the expansion of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, he was able to justify his strategic modernization plan as a temporary measure, necessary to preserve America’s security until his missile shield could be put in place.

  • CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT
    CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT The 2003 PMT outlined the actions needed to bring the MBTA transit system into a state of good repair (SGR). It evaluated and prioritized a number of specific enhancement and expansion projects proposed to improve the system and better serve the regional mobility needs of Commonwealth residents. In the inter- vening years, the MBTA has funded and implemented many of the 2003 PMT priorities. The transit improvements highlighted in this chapter have been accomplished in spite of the unsus- tainable condition of the Authority’s present financial structure. A 2009 report issued by the MBTA Advisory Board1 effectively summarized the Authority’s financial dilemma: For the past several years the MBTA has only balanced its budgets by restructuring debt liquidat- ing cash reserves, selling land, and other one-time actions. Today, with credit markets frozen, cash reserves depleted and the real estate market at a stand still, the MBTA has used up these options. This recession has laid bare the fact that the MBTA is mired in a structural, on-going deficit that threatens its viability. In 2000 the MBTA was re-born with the passage of the Forward Funding legislation.This legislation dedicated 20% of all sales taxes collected state-wide to the MBTA. It also transferred over $3.3 billion in Commonwealth debt from the State’s books to the T’s books. In essence, the MBTA was born broke. Throughout the 1990’s the Massachusetts sales tax grew at an average of 6.5% per year. This decade the sales tax has barely averaged 1% annual growth.

  • Massachusetts 2012 Senate Poll
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 2, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Scott Brown looking good for 2012 re-election Raleigh, N.C. – In a look ahead to 2012, PPP tested five different Democrats against freshman Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown, who surprised the world by taking Ted Kennedy’s old seat in a January 2010 special election that was a precursor to November’s midterm drubbings. But Brown is still so popular even in a wider electorate that even in this heavily blue state, none of the five can come closer than a seven-point deficit. Brown tops recently re-elected Governor Deval Patrick, 49-42; Kennedy’s widow Vicki, 48-41; 34-year representative of the 7th congressional district, Ed Markey, 49-39; 8th- district Congressman Mike Capuano, 52-36; and 9th-district Congressman Stephen Lynch, 49-30. The varying deficits are largely a function of name recognition, but there is clearly a ceiling for a Democrat right now in an unlikely place. Brown gets 22-28% of Democrats, something usually only seen in Southern Democratic states like North Carolina. He maintains 85-89% of his own party, and holds 29- to 34-point leads with independents, who make up almost as much of the electorate (38%) as Democrats (42%). In a sign of how moderate and mainstream Brown’s image is, 53% say his views are “about right,” something only 32% say of the GOP as a whole.
