Steve Grossman
State official doesn't prefer the taste of Schweddy Balls
By adamg - 10/23/11 - 4:00 pmState Treasurer Steve Grossman had some Schweddy Balls today and tweets about the experience:
Latest flavor gets a 5/10. Too much vanilla. Not enough malted milk balls.
You may recall that Grossman made trips to ice-cream places a part of his successful election campaign last year.

By adamg - 8/15/10 - 7:55 amThe Globe introduces us to the people running for state treasurer this year:
Democrats Steve Grossman and Steve Murphy and Republican state Representative Karyn Polito are vying for the open treasurer's seat by trying to differentiate themselves based on their financial credentials, investment philosophies, and independence.
State Dem Convention results put two on Treasurer ballot and three on Auditor
By JohnAKeith - 6/5/10 - 5:13 pmThe results from the state Democratic Convention being held today in Worcester are in, according to Boston.com and twitter feeds (hash tag: #madem10).
As expected, the Governor and Lieutenant Governor received enough votes to put them on the ballot (at least 15 percent) and receive the endorsement of the party (25 percent).
In the race for State Treasurer, Steve Grossman earned their endorsement by receiving more than 50 percent of the delegates' votes while Boston City Councilor-At-Large Steve Murphy made it to September's ballot with 15.6 percent of the votes.
The state auditor race is considered a hot one after Joe DeNucci announced his decision to retire (after ten years). Suzanne Bump, Guy Glodis, and Michael Lake all made it on the ballot. The rumor in the twittershere is that Glodis instructed some of his supporters to vote for Lake, thereby assuring his place on the ballot and potentially splitting the "progressive" vote between him and Bump, in September.
Maybe his cell phone was dead

... Let's talk jobs, holding big banks accountable, & protecting people's $. When & where?
Now let's see if Polito tweets back.
Apparently, until today, Steve Grossman was only unofficially running for treasurer
By adamg - 4/28/10 - 4:12 pmMike Ball reports from today's kickoff speech by the former Democratic moneyman who wants to become the official state moneyman. Ball includes Grossman's platform, which is more than just wanting to sign state checks.
Bonus: Mike reports an appearance by fabled Boston socialite Smoki Bacon.
So how come hardly any Democrats are running to replace Treasurer Tim?
By adamg - 2/2/10 - 9:04 amSteve Poftak wonders: Is Steve Grossman that intimidating? On the Democratic side so far it's Democratic moneyman Grossman and, maybe, Steve Murphy, who seems unable to leave the confines of the Boston City Council. In contrast, the Republicans have three candidates for one of those jobs that makes you wonder why it's still elected.
