State ethics officials are continuing to press the former Methuen police chief who resigned in 2021 after a scathing report from the inspector general questioned his handling of contracts that would have sent ranking officers’ pay soaring.The state Ethics Commission on Thursday issued an order to show cause alleging Joseph Solomon violated the conflict of interest law by changing a draft collective bargaining agreement to increase his salary and providing unwarranted benefits to five intermittent officers.The commission’s Enforcement Division says Solomon had an opportunity to resolve the matter through a disposition agreement before it filed the order as it found “reasonable cause” regarding a conflict of interest.A hearing on the allegations against Solomon will be scheduled within 90 days.A bulk of the complaint accuses Solomon of never informing the mayor or any other Methuen official that he consulted with the leader of the superior officers’ union to add a contract provision t...

American shad — fish that migrate from oceans to rivers every spring to spawn — are making a comeback in New England’s longest coastal river without dams.That’s the goal behind a new MassWidlife initiative which looks to stock about 2 million larval shad each year over the next five in the Taunton River, stretching 37 miles from Bridgewater to Fall River.“They were once abundant in large Massachusetts rivers like the Taunton, but now only a small portion of their historical population remains,” MassWildlife said in a release this week. “Special techniques are needed to restore these migratory fish so that they become connected to a certain freshwater location.”Shad are what wildlife biologists classify as diadromous, meaning they spend portions of their lives in both the ocean and freshwater rivers.Newly born shad, still attached to their egg sacks, are being stocked in the Taunton River, allowing them to gain an “imprint on the unique characteristics of the river,” Mass...
