|
|
May 9, 2012
Following the bombing of a natural gas pipeline in Yemen
that disrupted fuel shipments to Boston, US Representative Edward J. Markey
Tuesday called for increased investments in domestic pipelines - which could
boost recent efforts to expand a natural gas pipeline that serves New England.
In a three-page letter to federal energy Secretary Steven
Chu, Markey questioned whether the region should import liquefied natural gas
from Yemen when domestic gas production is booming because of drilling in shale
formations across the country, including in Pennsylvania.

April 30, 2012
Just a few streets from where he died in the line of duty,
Woburn patrolman John “Jack” Maguire was honored Sunday when Woburn’s
Washington Street post office was renamed in his honor.
Congressman Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., and Sens. John Kerry,
D-Mass., and Scott Brown, R-Mass., were among hundreds who attended the
dedication of the Officer John Maguire Post Office Building. Local officials
and Maguire’s widow, Desiree, children Shawn, Tara, and Bryan and brother Chuck
were also present.
Maguire, 60, a 34-year veteran of the department who was
scheduled to retire in October 2011, died in an exchange of gunfire outside
Kohl’s department store Dec. 26, 2010, while responding to reports of a robbery
there. His assailant, Domenic Cinelli, a career criminal who was out on parole
after serving time for three life sentences, was also killed in the exchange.
“Officer Maguire paid the ultimate price protecting the citizens
of Woburn,” said Markey.

The Woburn
post office was officially dedicated Sunday to a veteran police officer killed
in the line of duty.
John

“Officer
Maguire paid the ultimate price protecting the citizens of Woburn,” said
Markey. “We are incredibly grateful for his selfless acts that tragic day,
which capped more than three decades of outstanding dedication to the safety
and security of the people of Woburn.”
