BOSTON – The track maintenance employee who racked up 2,600 overtime hours in less than a year "regularly approved his own overtime reporting form" and retired Jan. 31, according to ongoing audits of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
The audits undertaken by KPMG and an internal auditor found no evidence of fraud, though Jim Logan, the T's internal auditor, said he had found "a little bit of abuse of overtime here and there – not anything illegal."
SALEM, Mass. – U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton may get a free ride to re-election in November as no Republican has stepped up to challenge the first-term congressman's bid for two more years in Washington.
While his North Shore district is often regarded as competitive, the Salem Democrat and Marine Corps veteran may have scared off an opponent by amassing almost $1 million in campaign funds. Despite his freshman status, Moulton is thus far on an equal footing with Neal, the dean of the Bay State congressional delegation: Neither officially face a Republican opponent.
