BOSTON — State Sen. Daniel A. Wolf will remain in office indefinitely as the state ethics commission begins to draft new regulations that could allow business owners with certain state contracts to serve in public office.

Discussion about the controversial new NStar poles continued this week before the Tisbury selectmen.

Representatives from the power company appeared before the selectmen Tuesday evening for a public hearing on six poles on Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road. Although the poles have already been installed, the selectmen used the hearing as a forum for airing concerns about the noticeably larger and taller additions to the roadside.

An Oak Bluffs food inspector has resigned amid disagreement with the board of health over the enforcement of health code violations.

Ron Tolin, who had served the town for five years, submitted his resignation on Sept. 3, effective Sept. 10. Calling it a “hard decision,” Mr. Tolin said in a letter that his action was prompted in part by the board’s decision to keep Fat Ronnie’s hamburger restaurant open despite multiple violations of the health code.

The third time might be the charm in Edgartown’s quest to sell the Warren House, a run-down North Water street mansion.

About a year after the town advertised the circa-1790 home, the Edgartown selectmen received three bids on the old house, two offering $2.5 million and one offering $1.5 million.

Cape and Islands state Sen. Dan Wolf, joined by several other petitioners, will make a case to the state ethics commission next week for a regulation allowing him to remain in office despite his ownership in Cape Air.

In early August, the Massachusetts state ethics commission issued a decision that Mr. Wolf’s 23 per cent ownership in Cape Air poses a conflict of interest because the airline has contracts with Massachusetts Port Authority, which owns and operates Logan Airport.
