Paul E. Tirone (born February 8, 1951 in Newburyport, Massachusetts) is an American politician who was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 2001–2003.[1] He was defeated in the 2002 Democratic primary by Michael A. Costello.[2]
Tirone was involved in exonerating the remaining yet-unnamed five victims of the Salem witch trials, by helping pass an act on October 31, 2001. His wife is a descendant of Sarah Wildes, one of the condemned witches who was hanged in 1692. He took the opportunity to urge caution on a similar reaction to the then-recent September 11 attacks, stating, "Sometimes when things like this happen we need to take a breath, and look at it. We just can't paint blame with a wide brush."[3]
