It’s not a good time to be a judge in Massachusetts, it seems. Yesterday, Gov. Charle Baker said a recent controversial decision by Superior Court Judge Timothy Feeley, who gave a drug dealer probation rather than prison time, was “ridiculous and an outrage," reports Gintautas Dumcius at MassLive. Republican lawmakers on Beacon Hill are calling for Feeley's removal from the bench.

The New York Times has a report on this week’s awarding of a massive offshore wind contract by the state of Massachusetts to Vineyard Wind – and what it economically could mean for New Bedford and other port cities that might also one day host construction firms building offshore-wind farms elsewhere. Bottom line: It could mean thousands of jobs.

We’re curious to see how regulators rationalize a final decision on this one, no matter which way they rule. From Peter Goonan at MassLive: “Representatives of MGM Springfield told the Massachusetts Gaming Commission on Thursday that its request to serve alcohol until 4 a.m. is strictly limited to the casino gaming floor area and solely to customers who are actively gambling.” The commission is now seeking public comment on the MGM request.
