Editorial from the Medford Transcript -
 
This week, we’re happy to unveil two brand new columns from some familiar names.

First, we welcome former city councilor Robert Penta, who has written some Sitting In columns over the years and put pen to paper in the Council Corner.

Now, Penta will be writing a political column called Penta’s Points, which we hope to share with you on a monthly basis.
Next, we hope you’ll be checking out Life and Money, a column by Andrea Bates McGrath about what else? Life and money.


McGrath will offer her advice on the confusing world of money and how to keep it from making your life crazier than it has to. Check out her first column, offering some great tips to families about not letting that inheritance make you forget what’s important in the first place.
