Indian claim stirs outrage among some Patch readers against US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren.
The controversy over US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren's claim to be part Native American is not going over well with Patch readers in the Greater Boston area, according to an unscientific Patch poll. As of Thursday morning 52 percent of the 304 Patch readers who took our unscientific poll said they believe US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is more of a hypocrite than incumbent Republican US Senator Scott Brown. Meanwhile some 19 percent who took the poll said they believe Brown is more of a hypocrite for voting against President Barack Obama's health care law while taking advantage of a key provision in it: the provision that allows him to keep his elder daughter on his congressional health insurance plan. 30 Comments Left on May 3 …

It’s been an interesting week in the U.S. Senate Race between Democrat Elizabeth Warren and incumbent Republican Scott Brown.
First it was revealed that Harvard University once touted Warren’s marginal Native American heritage as proof of their faculty’s diversity. That story was followed up with another revealing one that Warren had listed herself as a minority professor between 1986 and 1995 in the Association of American Law Schools desk book, a major reference for legal professors. On Tuesday it was revealed that Brown, who ran for office vowing to kill President Obama’s health care law (and who has since voted three times to repeal it) took advantage of a key provision in it: the provision that allows him to keep his elder daughter on his congressional health insurance plan. Meanwhile, both candidates downplayed their wealth this week as they revealed their …

Joseph Caiazzo is one of four men selected to represent the Fifth Congressional District in Massachusetts at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. from Sept. 3-7.
The last time a Stoneham resident was a candidate to be a delegate at the Democratic National Convention was in 1972 when Dick Mangerian and Paul Means held those honors. However, Stonehamite Joseph Caiazzo was recently chosen to represent the Fifth Congressional District in Massachusetts at the convention in September. Caiazzo will be working closely with the delegation from Massachusetts that consists of 139 elected delegates, nine alternates, a number of members of the State Legislature and all of the statewide and federally-elected democrats. Who Gets Picked? At April 21’s caucuses, registered Democrats in each congressional district elected four men, four women and one alternate delegate, and Caiazzo was the lone Stoneham resident …

As of noon, more than nine percent of the town's registered voters have voted at Town Hall, according to temporary Town Clerk Marie Crimmins.
There has been a "very steady" influx of Stoneham voters voting in the Town Election on Tuesday at Town Hall, according to temporary Town Clerk Marie Crimmins. Crimmins, who was hired by the town to handle the Town Clerk duties on election day, is filling in for Assistant Town Clerk Maria Sagarino, who is vying for the town clerk post in the election. Sagarino stepped aside to avoid any conflicts in the election process, and the Board of Selectmen approved the hiring of Crimmins in March. Crimmins worked as a town clerk for 26 years in Foxborough before retiring in 2008. However, she now works part-time as a town clerk for different municipalities. As of noon, 1,324 townspeople had voted in the election, according to Crimmins, which …
