Paul Cellucci VERBATIM We Are Family Paul Cellucci VERBATIM We Are Family US ambassador to Canada Paul Cellucci caused a storm of controversy when he told the Economic Club of Toronto that the United States was “disappointed and upset” that Canada did not support the war in Iraq as it has the war on terrorism. An excerpt from this important speech on March 25, a message he reiterated on April 3 at an IRPP working breakfast in Montreal. Paul Cellucci, l’ambassadeur des États-Unis au Canada, a provoqué une vive controverse en déclarant devant le Economic Club de Toronto que son pays était « déçu et contrarié » de voir le Canada refuser d’appuyer la guerre en Irak alors qu’il soutient la guerre au terrorisme. Voici un extrait de cet important discours prononcé le 25 mars dernier, dont il a repris les grandes lignes à Montréal lors d’un déjeuner- causerie organisé par l’IRPP. want to try to put things in per- Island gas into New England.

  • Biogen Idec Announces Major Gift to Umass
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 15, 2012 Contact: Office of Communications [email protected] 508-856-2000 BIOGEN IDEC JOINS FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNORS PAUL CELLUCCI AND BILL WELD TO ANNOUNCE MAJOR GIFT TO UMASS/ALS CHAMPION FUND Politicians past and present alongside Governors for event to benefit ALS research BOSTON, MA – The University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) today announced a $500,000 gift from Biogen Idec to the UMass/ALS Champion Fund, which supports critical research into ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases. Biogen Idec CEO George A. Scangos, Ph.D., presented the gift to former Massachusetts Governor Paul Cellucci, who launched the Champion Fund last year shortly after announcing that he had been diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. In recognition of the critical need for new treatments for ALS, the UMass/ALS Champion Fund is a campaign to raise awareness and funding for the world-class neuroscience research happening in the UMMS neurology department, which is chaired by Robert H. Brown, Jr., D.Phil., M.D., director of the Day Neuromuscular Research Laboratory at UMMS and one of the world’s leading ALS researchers. “I am so moved by the generosity of Biogen Idec – a great Massachusetts corporation,” said Governor Cellucci. “One of the greatest national resources we have is found in abundance right here in the Commonwealth, in companies like Biogen Idec that are committed to developing cures and treatments that change millions of lives.” “I thank Dr. Scangos and his company. Their generous gift will help support the incredible research into potential treatments for ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases being done at UMass Medical School,” said the Governor.

  • Representative Robert A. Durand
    Berkshire Woods and Waters: Durand named to Fisheries and Wildlife Board BY GENE C HAGUE, Eagle correspondent Saturday, May 25, 2019 Robert Durand is sworn in as a member of the state's Fisheries and Wildlife Board of Directors by Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, right, as his wife Nancy watches on. Governor Charlie Baker has named Robert A. Durand, president of Durand & Anastas Environmental Strategies, an environmental consulting and lobbying firm, to the Massachusetts Fisheries and Wildlife Board. Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito conducted the swearing-in ceremony for the five-year term last Wednesday. State Rep. William “Smitty” Pignatelli, D-Lenox, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture, was one of about 10 Representatives and Senators who attended the swearing in. Smitty said some nice words and reminded everyone of how close Bob was to the late George (Gige) Darey. “I am so pleased and honored to receive this nomination to the board, which has been a part of my life in one way or another for most of my life,” Durand said. “I’m thankful to Gov. Baker and Lt. Gov. Polito for their confidence in me to carry out this vital mission to protect many critical aspects of our natural world, and with it, our quality of life in Massachusetts.” As one of the seven-member board, Durand will represent the Northeast Region, Middlesex and Essex counties, and replaces Fred Winthrop, who resigned from the board last fall. The board has various duties, including writing and overseeing all hunting and fishing regulations, Natural Resources and Endangered Species Act regulations, and is the appointing authority for the director of MassWildlife.

The Paradox of Public Authorities in Massachusetts The Paradox of Massport and Public Authorities in Masspike Massachusetts Richard A. Hogarty This case study provides historical context and fresh perspectives for those seek- ing to understand the ways in which independent authorities operate in Massa- chusetts. More specifically, it examines the controversial performances of two separate authorities that deal with transportation problems. One involves a fail- ure to detect terrorists breaching security at Logan Airport; the other entails a bitter dispute that arose over the delay in raising tolls on the turnpike to pay for the Big Dig project. With both in mind, this study describes the countervailing pressures that converge on the executive branch of state government as it con- fronts the prospect of holding these two authorities accountable.

Mazzulli, Doric Docents, Inc. for the Italian-American Heritage Month Committee All photographs courtesy Massachusetts Art Commission. Fifth ed., © 2008 Docents R IL CONSOLE GENERALE D’ITALIA BOSTON On the occasion of the latest edition of the booklet “Italy Under the Golden Dome,” I would like to congratulate the October Italian Heritage Month Committee for making it available, once again, to all those interested to learn about the wonderful contributions that Italian artists have made to the State House of Massachusetts. In this regard I would also like to avail myself of this opportunity, if I may, to commend the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Hon. William F. Galvin, for the cooperation that he has graciously extended to the Committee in this particular endeavor. Italians and Italian Americans are rightly proud of the many extraordinary works of art that decorate the State House, works that are either made by Italian artists or inspired by the Italian tradition in the field of art and architecture. It is therefore particularly fitting that the October Italian Heritage Month Committee has taken upon itself the task of celebrating this unique contribution that Italians have made to the history of Massachusetts. Consul General of Italy, Boston OCTOBER IS ITALIAN-AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH On behalf of the Committee to Observe October as Italian-American Heritage Month, we are pleased and honored that Secretary William Galvin, in cooperation with the Massachusetts Art Commission and the Doric Docents of the Massachusetts State House, has agreed to publish this edition of the Guide.

BUY THIS BOOK Introduction Seeing Politics through Different Lenses The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but in seeing with new eyes. Marcel Proust A long-serving member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives gingerly seated himself in the vacant black leather chair next to me in the cavernous and historic House chamber. A district border in south- west Boston was all we really shared in common. Prior to this moment, my most vivid memory of him had occurred during a meeting of the Boston legislative delegation in my first year as a rep, as I awkwardly made conversation by remarking that he always seemed to face difficult reelection fights that attracted multiple serious opponents. “Don’t worry about me,” he smiled. “My perception of vulnerability is my greatest strength.” He most often could be observed seated at the far back of the chamber reading books connected with his two compelling passions: the right-to-life movement and the Catholic cause in Northern Ireland. To- day, however, he wanted to be my friend. “John,” he said in a voice crack- ing from years of tobacco smoke, “do you have any precincts near me that you would be willing to let me take?” He was referring to the up- coming redrawing of legislative districts, always an intense game of who gets what. “Gee, I don’t know,” I demurred. “I’ve worked them really hard.
