We all know there are spots in Easton where people tend to speed throughout town. While the town certainly has its main roads and routes (Route 138, 123 and 106), there are plenty of backroads and country trails where some people may forget they're not on the highway. Now, we want to hear from you! Tell us in the comments section which streets have the most speeders in town and which streets might need a raised section, another stop sign, more crosswalks or another measure to slow down traffic. Then next Thursday, we'll run a poll based on the top five answers we received in the callout as we…

State Senator Brian A. Joyce (D-Milton) announced yesterday that he voted for a resolution calling for the United States Congress to pass a constitutional amendment to overturn the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. “We now starting to see the influence unlimited and unchecked corporate donations can have on elections as the cost of running for office skyrockets,” said Joyce. “We cannot allow our Democracy to become an auction house where publicly trusted positions are heavily influenced by the highest bidder. Overturning Citizens United …

As we near the one-year anniversary of Tropical Storm Irene, which left thousands of Easton residents (and nearly a million total Massachusetts residents) without power for days, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley is proving that she hasn't forgotten what she calls an "inadequate response" to both the tropical storm and an October snowstorm with similar results. Coakely is recommending a $16 million fine against the company – the largest penalty ever recommended against a utility in Massachusetts, according to a statement from her office released Thursday. The penalties, if passed …

It's official. EEE season is here. Since Eastern Equine Encephalitis-infected mosquitoes were found near the Hockomock swamp earlier this month, the threat of the disease has only risen. Infected mosquitoes were found in Carver, again in Easton and in Canton, prompting state officials to commence aerial spraying in 20 towns south of Boston. Despite efforts to spray, Department of Public Health officials warn that precautions still need to be taken. The threat is certainly real. A Carver man died of the disease last year. But, how far is too far? Should we stay inside at night? Cancel all …

  Former Massachusetts Governor and presumptive Republican nominee for president was in Massachusetts Thursday at his campaign headquarters in the North End of Boston and again in Roxbury, according to the Boston Globe. His visit comes in the midst of calls from Democrats and many Republicans to release more than two years of his tax returns. Romney, however, is standing strong. “In the political environment that exists today, the opposition research of the Obama campaign is looking for anything they can use to distract from the failure of the president to reignite our economy,” Romney told …

While Route 24 technically never runs through Easton, it is a major corridor for many of the Shovel Town's commuters. Recently, it has also been the home to some horrific highway accidents. On July 12, Angel Pina, a 12-year-old from Norton, along with two other Norton residents, were killed in an afternoon accident on Route 24 on the Stoughton/Avon line, just north of Easton. Over this past weekend, a rear-end collision in Stoughton sent two the hospital. Later, a roll-over accident in Stoughton sent another to Good Samaritan. Early Sunday morning, a Mansfield teenager and a Tiverton, R.I. …

  Lawmen called upon legislators yesterday to loosen the clamps on the state wiretap law to include the violent street-level gangs behind some of the Boston's  most unsolvable slayings, the Boston Herald reported today.

  With U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder being held in contempt by a Republican heavy House of Representatives, pundits are saying the chances of a new Attorney General are likely should Obama serve in a second term, according to the Boston Herald Peter Ubertaccio, a professor at Stonehill College here in Easton,said Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick may be a good fit. “The chances of a new attorney general in a second Obama administration, if there is one, has increased dramatically,” Ubertaccio told the Herald.

In the past, the town of Easton produced most of the world's shovels. While those days may have passed, Easton is known for many products, people and places. On Friday, Fox 25 featured the famous places and businesses in Easton, including Simpson Spring, Hilliards and the House of Possibilities. Shovels may not be the Shovel Towns biggest product any more. But, nowadays, what is Easton's most famous commodity?

Ahh.. In New England, this is a question for the ages. With the first full day of summer loudly arriving with triple diget temperatures (heat index values reached 103 today), you can bet Eastonites are out by the pool, stocking up on Simpson Spring water, and running through sprinklers. It wasn't too long ago, though, that many of us were wishing this weather would arrive. In the dead of winter, hot temperatures can be wishful thinking. So, which do you prefer? Extreme heat like today? Or extreme cold?

  What some may consider another front in the war against obesity, others may consider another step too far for government. The city of Cambridge is considering limiting the size of soda and sugar sweetened beverages sold at it's local restaurants. If passed, city restaurants wouldn't sell drinks larger than 16 ounces at any of it's restaurants. So, what if this happened in Easton? Smaller beverages at Maguire's? No "large" options at the Wendy's on route 138? Like Cambridge, should Easton consider limiting the size of soda and sugar sweetened beverages in restaurants?

  Senator Scott Brown (R-Wrentham) was elected in 2010 to replace long-time senator Ted Kennedy, who had passed away. Now, Brown is in a battle with Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren to maintain the seat. How has Brown fared in his two years in office?

  With hurricane season upon us, it is a good time to prepare for what could happen. Last year, Hurricane Irene swept through Massachusetts, and left many Easton residents without power for days. Did Irene teach us anything last year? Should we do anything different to prepare for hurricanes this year?

After a hiatus, question of the Day is back! To answer, use the comments section below. If you haven't noticed, the store front on Main Street which formerly housed Main Street Cafe has been left vacant. The breakfast and lunch shop packed up and left last month. With North Easton revitalization officially beginning last week with the Shovel Shop groundbreaking ceremony, the Main Street spot will be a prime business location in the face-lifted downtown. Perhaps a new restaurant will move in? Or, something entirely different? What do you think? What should replace Main Street Cafe? To answer, …

  Residents throughout the Commonwealth who choose to host "Bring Your Own Booze" parties are now free from liability if underage drinking occurs at those events and guests who drive drunk cause injuries, death or damage, according to a Boston Herald report Tuesday.  The ruling derives from a majority opinion of Massachusetts Justices Fernande Duffly, Robert Cordy, Barbara Lenk, and Francis Spina, who claimed that social hosts can't be expected to "police their guests' drinking" and the ruling states that only hosts who supply alcohol to guests can be held legally responsible, according to …

Many Massachusetts residents spent days in the dark last year after two unusual weather events -- Tropical Storm Irene and an October snowstorm -- wiped out power to hundreds of thousands of homes. Each time, Easton residents joined local and state officials in expressing their disappointment and anger at utility companies who seemed uncommunicative and slow when it came to restoring services. Now, the Massachusetts Senate is taking steps to change the way utility companies respond during emergencies. According to a press release from the Office of Sen. Richard Ross (R-Wrentham), a bill …
