Europe wants us to keep our lobsters to ourselves.

In his continuing opposition to the Obama administration’s Iraq policy, U.S. Rep Seth Moulton is against the president’s latest move to deploy 600 American troops to Iraq.
“We cannot, in good conscience, continue to send young Americans into harm’s way without a clear plan,” said the Massachusetts Democrat in a statement.
On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the troops will assist local security forces as they prepare to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul from ISIS.
BOSTON — Rep. Seth Moulton thinks marijuana should be legalized and regulated in Massachusetts, arguing that the state could get a much-needed windfall in tax revenue while driving down black-market pot sales.
Moulton, who acknowledges trying pot as a student at Harvard College in the 1990s, said opponents have “legitimate concerns” about people driving under the influence of marijuana and kids using the drug. Regulation, he said, is the way to address those concerns.

LYNN — Jay Connolly admits he is “somewhat of a stranger to Lynn,” but the vice president of Beverly-based Connolly Brothers Inc. registered for Tuesday’s city development tour of Lynn to find new opportunities.
“The city seems to have lots of potential, proximity to Boston and waterfront opportunities, so it’s exciting to see it,” Connolly said.
More than 100 investors, developers, lenders, brokers and contractors like Connolly boarded three buses for a glimpse at the city’s development opportunities.
