Baker, Governor Karyn E. Polito, Lt. Governor Matthew A. Beaton, Secretary John P. Murray, Commissioner Resource Management Plans provide guidelines for management of properties under the stewardship of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). They are intended to be working documents for setting priorities, enabling the Department to adapt to changing fiscal, social and environmental conditions. The planning process provides a forum for communication and cooperation with park visitors, partners and the surrounding communities to ensure transparency in the DCR’s stewardship efforts. The parks within the Charles River Esplanade - New Basin Complex are among the most popular in the Commonwealth. They provide a variety of recreational opportunities, from scenic walks along the river, to bike rides along the 18-mile Dr. Paul Dudley White Bicycle Path, to taking in a summer concert at the Hatch Shell or in City Square Park. These parks are a common ground where people of widely different backgrounds meet. Intense boating activity makes the Lower Basin one of the nation’s great water parks.

This battle, which occurred in 1775, was part of the Siege of Boston. This siege took place during the American Revolutionary War, which is also known as the American War of Independence. from Publisher, Pam Donnaruma and the Staff of the Post-Gazette News Briefs by Sal Giarratani Obama: No Hopey, No Changey to Economy When it comes to our economy, all the hope Paul Revere House Circa 1903 and change stuff has produced very little change but continued hope that things will improve even though Obamanomics remains a failed policy. Of course, it isn’t his fault, right? President George W. Bush is still responsible for today’s mess. How long is the statute of limitations on blaming George W. for 2012? Here we are heading toward re-election time and neither the White House nor the lapdogs in the liberal media hold Barack Obama responsible for anything negative. It’s as if the Bush Legacy has been taken hostage by the Obama-ites and used as a drape to cover Obama’s southern exterior. On June 1, the president stated the obvious. The latest employment numbers show that the economy is not creating jobs “as fast as we want,” but pledged the economy will improve. Speaking at a Honeywell plant in Minnesota, he added, “We do have better days ahead.” May figures show only 69,000 jobs were added during the month and the unemployment number increased to 8.2 percent.
