Republican running for Marian Walsh's senate seat, too

Wicked Local West Roxbury reports that, in addition to state Rep. Mike Rush, Brad Williams, chairman of the Ward 20 Republican Ward Committee, is running for the seat Marian Walsh has yet to say whether she'll try to retain next year.

Yes, this is the point where you put on your Craig Ferguson voice and go: "I knoooow! A Republican ward committee in West Roxbury?!?" If nothing else, Williams could do the impossible and make Rush look like a liberal: He's a member of the Official MA-NH Independence Day Tea Party.

New Balance pays for snow removal on paths along the Charles

Starting with the next storm, the Brighton-based company says:

Under the agreement, New Balance, recognizing DCR’s commitment to outdoor enthusiasts in a challenging economy, has pledged to provide funding to support snow removal efforts along the 17-plus mile Charles River path spanning from the Museum of Science area in Cambridge to the Galen Street Bridge in Watertown. The snow removal will be performed by DCR within 24 hours of the completion of a storm. Because the route runs in close proximity to the river bank, there is limited salting and sanding that can be performed, so the DCR and New Balance urge runners to continue to use caution.

In exchange, the state is letting the company "host consumer events along the path during the winter where the company will showcase new products, provide giveaways, and interact with area athletes."

New Balance spokesman Kevin Flight says the exact amount the company will spend will depend on the weather, but that the company has committed to giving the state at least $10,000 for snow removal.
