Eat some good stuff on Monday and remember to honor those who have died for our country.
Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. It is a day for spending time with family and friends, eating lots of food and (most importantly) to honor those who have died fighting for the United States of America and our freedom. While hot dogs and hamburgers are the most popular items to eat on Memorial Day, there are other things you can make. Here is the guide to creating a full meal for the big day, courtesy of Attleboro resident Laurie Brasil. Ingredients Directions Combine all ingredients except for soda, mix well.

Lack of Quorum Dissolves Town Meet After 37 Articles are Discussed and Voted Easton Town Meeting was dissolved after approximately four hours Monday night after there were not enough voters present to reach a quorum. Voters did not schedule another date to resume the meeting. As a result, the remaining articles (38-44) will likely be put on hold until a Special Town Meeting in the fall, town clerk Jeremy Gillis said. Residents still voted on 37 articles, however. Thirty two passed as written. Two were dismissed. One was amended and two (Articles 33 and 37) failed.

The house passed legislation to treat most 17-year-olds as juvenile defenders. Is this a compassionate or dangerous change?
Massachusetts is currently one of only 11 states that tries 17-year-olds as adults. A bill passed this week by the state's House of Representatives would make these teenagers juvenile defenders, according to a report by 7News Boston. That will put the Commonwealth in line with most other states, where adult court is reserved for individuals 18 and older. The bill still allows the state to try 17-year-olds as adults in serious cases, like murders. But proponents hope the change will reduce cases of rape in the state's prison system by keeping younger inmates away from older, stronger convicts. TELL US: What do you think? Are we getting too soft on younger defendants? Or is this a justified, compassionate change to protect teenagers? Tell …
Recap and analysis of the week in state government.
The rush from Beacon Hill to the westbound turnpike this week had as much to do with two of Worcester's political sons beating feet from the capitol as with the impending Memorial Day weekend. As Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray attempted as graceful an exit as possible from politics, fellow Worcester Democrat Rep. John Fresolo made his hasty escape under an ethics cloud feeling "marginalized" by his peers and pressured to resign, which he did. If not for those two storylines, the focus may have been on the Senate's breakneck budget debate concluding Thursday night as senators wiped their hands clean of 725 amendments and passed a $34 billion fiscal 2014 budget without the need for Senate President Therese Murray to threaten a Friday or Saturday …
