Outgoing lieutenant governor said recent controversies had nothing to do with decision to resign.
Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Tim Murray said none of the controversies that have dogged him during his tenure on Beacon Hill contributed to his decision to announce his resignation. In a press conference at the State House Wednesday, Murray said his final day on the job will be June 2.

Spotted Tuesday near downtown Wakefield from the shore of Lake Quannapowitt - 14 Canada Geese out for a stroll, single-file on the ice.
Late Tuesday morning in Wakefield, this line of geese was spotted walking single file across Lake Quannapowitt in the direction of the town common.

Check out this video clip shot from the shore of Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield on Friday.
Late Friday morning as the snow was getting started, I stopped at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield to get a couple of extra photos for the weekend's storm coverage. Along with getting a few good photos, I also spotted this person out on the ice, skating with a parachute trailing from behind as the blizzard began to set in over the region. What more can you add to that? Check out the video here.
