Outgoing lieutenant governor said recent controversies had nothing to do with decision to resign.
Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Tim Murray said none of the controversies that have dogged him during his tenure on Beacon Hill contributed to his decision to announce his resignation. In a press conference at the State House Wednesday, Murray said his final day on the job will be June 2. The next day he will take over as president and CEO of the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce where his salary will reportedly be around $200,000. In January, Murray said he had no intention of running for governor when Gov. Deval Patrick's term expires in January 2015. "This has been a very difficult but empowering decision," Murray said.

CBS Boston reports Murray has a new job lined up already.
UPDATE, 12:15 p.m.: The Massachusetts Republican Party was quick to jump on the reports about Murray's resignation, saying Murray is trying "to outrun the scandal that dogs him" in a statement on their website. MassGOP attempted to liken Murray's exit to that of former House Speaker Thomas Finneran, who was convicted of obstruction of justice in 2007. “History doesn’t always repeat itself, but in this case it looks like Tim Murray is following the same path as a previous, disgraced Democratic official,” said Nate Little MassGOP Executive Director in the scathing statement. “Only time will tell if Murray follows the Finneran playbook to the end, complete with indictment and guilty plea.” UPDATE, 10:45 a.m.: Boston.com has updated their …

Salem police have responded to numerous complaints regarding stolen flowers, damaged flower pots and pulled up gardens this spring.
A recent uptick in reports of stolen flower pots and damaged gardens has some city residents asking local police officers to increase their latenight foot patrols in certain Salem neighborhoods. It was Friday evening when Leach Street resident Jessica Dusak discovered that a brazen thief had stolen a hanging flower basket and four trays of flowers off of her front porch in broad daylight. Although the fresh flowers were worth less than $40, Dusak said she was disappointed because she expected more of her neighborhood. "Leach Street is a lovely area and the flowers had been purchased just days before," Dusak said, adding, "my neighbors and I are simply appalled at how someone would do such a thing." Then, on Sunday morning, Hawthorne …
