It’s a bit nutty in an age where you can tell a disembodied voice in your kitchen to order more milk from the grocery store that someone whose license is suspended for drunken driving in one state can cross a border into another state and basically wipe their record clean. As is painfully obvious now, that’s exactly what was happening for years, at least in Massachusetts, where those kinds of notices from other places were left to pile up in the corner of a state office in Quincy.
BOSTON — A long-awaited project to dredge the sand-clogged Annisquam River could be back on track, according to U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, citing a deal with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that will allow work to move forward.
Moulton said his office, working with state and local officials, has secured a waiver from the Army Corps and the federal Office of Management and Budget that will allow the project to move ahead with $2 million in recently allocated state funding to plug a gap between the estimated $6 million price tag and bids that came in much higher than expected.

BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Congressman Seth Moulton weighed in Tuesday on the whistleblower report, Democrats' impeachment inquiry, and the scandals facing President Trump.

DANVERS, MASS. (WHDH) - Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton introduced a new bill on Tuesday that would support the interstate sharing of driving records after a highway wreck in June claimed the lives of seven motorcyclists in New Hampshire.
Moulton, while speaking in Danvers, explained that his SAFE DRIVERS Act is geared toward keeping individuals like 23-year-old Volodymyr Zhukovskyy off the road.
In the wake of a June crash that killed seven motorcyclists and exposed the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles’ failure to process thousands of out-of-state violations, US Representative Seth Moulton is proposing a bill that would support better collection and interstate sharing of driver data.
Moulton’s State and Federal Electronic Data Records to Improve Vehicle-operator Eligibility Reporting Systems Act — or SAFE DRIVERS Act — is intended to keep roads free of drivers like 23-year-old Volodymyr Zhukovskyy of West Springfield.
U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton said Columbia Gas should lose its license to distribute in the Bay State after a major gas leak forced the evacuation of hundreds of people in Lawrence — sparking new fears after last year’s Merrimack Valley gas disaster.
Moulton is one of several members of the state congressional delegation who voiced renewed frustrations with the utility company Friday after a Level 1 gas leak — the most severe — was caused by contractors who inadvertently closed a gas valve, puncturing an active gas main.
LYNN — More than 400 homes will be deleaded thanks to a $9.3 million grant from the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), the largest grant of its kind the city has received.
Administered by the Lynn Housing Authority and Neighborhood Development (LHAND), the Lead Abatement Program was created to make homes safer for low-income families.
From 2009 through 2018, Lynn received $9.1 million in HUD monies to make more than 600 homes safe. The all-in cost to delead one home can reach as much as $15,000, say experts.
Gloucester’s firefighters will undergo significantly more training over the coming year if the City Council backs a low-level match for a $424,055 grant from the federal government.
Fire Chief Eric Smith said the new $424,055 grant, announced Thursday by U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey and by U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, will provide for extensive training for firefighters to operate the department’s ambulance and other emergency vehicles, to drive and run a pumper truck and to operate an aerial ladder.

Congressman Seth Moulton, D-Salem, praised the grants in a statement.
