- Right to Repair Advances in Massachusetts: Certified Voter Signatures Approved by Secretary of State
BETHESDA, Md., Dec. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Massachusetts Right to Repair Coalition has announced that it has received an official letter from the Secretary of State's office confirming that 83,180 signatures have been approved from every region of the state, far more than the 68,000 signatures required.

And, if Mr. Brown, who has pledged to be the critical 41st vote to block "Obamacare," wins the race, Democrats could push a final vote on health care into that 10-day window so that Mr. Kirk can vote for the bill and thus, deprive Mr. Brown the opportunity to kill it.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The wife of Bernard Madoff withdrew more than $15 million from an account linked to the accused swindler in the days before his arrest, Massachusetts authorities said on Wednesday [Feb. 11], adding a new layer of intrigue to the probe of the purported $50 billion scam. Ruth Madoff pulled out $10 million on Dec. 10, the day before her husband was arrested and charged with running a global investment fraud, and $5.5 million on Nov. 25, according to Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin.

BOSTON - Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin's office has rejected a proposed settlement by an investment firm to repay nearly $6 million to state investors who lost money in Bernard Madoff's fraudulent investment scheme. Galvin spokesman Brian McNiff said Sunday that his agency is not accepting New York-based Fairfield Greenwich Group's offer to fully refund nearly a dozen investors in the state because officials are still trying to identify all the affected investors.
