Is Massachusetts Bad for Business?
Results from a recent executive survey ranked Massachusetts 47th for business.
A CEO magazine ranks Massachusetts as one of the worst states in the nation for business. Chief Executive Magazine ranked Massachusetts 47th based on a survey of corporate leaders. Survey respondents reported the Bay State is one of the worst for taxation and regulation. The state Republican Party is pointing to the survey and saying that Gov. Deval Patrick and the Democratic-led Legislature are bad for the economy and business. What do you think about Massachusetts’ business climate? Is this a good state in which to do business?

Sports Cars for a Stellar Summer
Here are five high-performance vehicles for sale in the area.
Sports cars and the people who drive them have taken a bit of a beating in popular culture these last few years. Movie geeks look at a hood scoop and drawl "I live my life a quarter mile at a time" in their deepest Vin Diesel voice. Cynics hear the growl of a high-end exhaust and draw anatomical conclusions about the owner. But all the ribbing doesn't change one fact: High-performance cars are wicked fun to drive. Big block beast, small block tuner, or high-end euro ride, the power and handling can't be matched by an efficient Prius or sensible minivan. Here are five local cars for sale that will give you the growl, grip and go that (deep down inside) you really want: 2014 Ford Mustang, $26,849: When introduced in the 1960's, the Ford …

Wage Theft is 'Rife' In Somerville, Say Activists
The practice particularly affects workers in the restaurant and construction industries, and immigrants are especially vulnerable, activists said.
"It's a major problem in the 21st century, and what happened at Diva is happening every day in America and all too often right here in Somerville," said Rand Wilson, a labor organizer, speaking to the Somerville Board of Aldermen Tuesday night at a public hearing. Wilson was speaking about so-called wage theft, where employers cheat employees out of payment. Patrick McDermott, a workers rights organizer with Somerville-based Centro Presente, said workers are cheated out of pay in a number of ways. Sometimes employers, particularly in the restaurant and construction industries, will hire someone for week, then fire them on Friday without providing a paycheck. Sometimes employers issue checks without suficcient funds to honor them. Often …

The food blog lists a number of dishes and drinks customers will find at the new restaurant, which will feature Central and Eastern European cuisine. Boston Eater says the restaurant will be open for just dinner at first, but it will eventually serve brunch and "late-night sausage." The restaurant is opening in the space formerly occupied by Ronnarong Thai Tapas. T.W. Food Owners …
