After weeks of controversy, Elizabeth Warren tells the Boston Globe that yes, she told Harvard and University of Pennsylvania about her Native American ancestry, but says it came up after she was already hired. What do you think about her actions, how she handled the controversy — and most of all, if or how much that should figure into your vote this fall for either Warren (or her Democratic colleague in the race, Marisa DeFranco) or Republican Sen. Scott Brown? Vote on Foxborough Patch. Tell us by voting in the poll, or be more specific and articulate in the comments section below.

With the casino out of the picture, the question now remains what will the Kraft Group do with the 200-acre parcel across from Gillette Stadium, according to a report in the Boston Globe. The land has been looked at as a biotechnology park or a place for companies to locate their headquarters, but economic conditions made that unlikely. Foxborough selectmen James DeVellas, the new board chairman, said they were willing to work with the Kraft Group. “We do want to work with them as much as we can,” DeVellis said in the Boston Globe article. “But it has been a difficult year. And this will bring a quiet and calm back.” Both Bob Kraft and Steve Wynn ended their plans for a casino after seeing the results from last week's election where two …

Representatives from the Kraft Group can't be barred from speaking during the public comment section at tonight's Foxborough selectmen's meeting, according to a ruling today by a federal judge as reported in the Boston Globe. A civil rights complaint was filed Monday in US District saying that Kraft's constitutional free speech rights were violated when employees were denied the right to speak at the March 13 selectmen's meeting in the public comment part and then during the meeting part. The dispute is over two billboards on Route 1 near Gillette Stadium on Kraft-owned land.

Good riddens to them. I can get $90.00 worth of groceries at Market basket rather than $43.00 at Shaws. They are very expensive. The quality of their food is sub standard. I've bought three loaves of bread from the one in Stoughton, and two days later they are full of mold. God forbid you go to the deli and ask for something while the employees are talking about their personal lives. They are not… more ›
