Massachusetts: Newspaper Endorsements

The Boston Herald endorsed four state House candidates this week.

The Herald noted in its editorial Monday that with so few competitive races this year, it makes picking candidates easier but that "in the interest of a thriving democracy we certainly hope this is the low point."

The daily backed Republican state Sen. Scott Brown in his race against Needham Democrat Sara Orozco in the Norfolk, Bristol and Middlesex District.

The Boston Globe editorial board came down against all three questions that will appear on the ballot in November.

On Question 1, the measure that would abolish the state income tax, the Globe wrote Tuesday that the current financial crisis only underlines the need for a "no" vote on the measure.
