BOSTON – An investigation into state Sen. Brian Joyce has expanded beyond the Massachusetts Ethics Commission to the FBI and the IRS, as agents from the two federal agencies on Wednesday raided the Milton Democrat's Canton law offices, officials said.
Joyce, who has been the subject of several media reports questioning his use of campaign funds and influence as a state politician to benefit his legal practice, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and last month entered a settlement to resolve questions raised by state campaign finance officials.
BOSTON – With just under two weeks until Massachusetts voters head to the polls to pick presidential candidates, supporters of the two Democratic contenders pitched communities of color from the State House steps on Wednesday.
With separate press conferences scheduled two hours apart, politicians and activists backing Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders each described their candidate as a trailblazer with a concrete plan to tackle racial disparities.
