Why is that MSM? He covered things up nicely very many years?
"Ethics panel accuses state auditor of violating the law" by Martin Finucane, Globe Staff | September 10, 2010
The State Ethics Commission alleged yesterday that state Auditor A. Joseph DeNucci violated state conflict-of-interest law by directing his office to hire his 75-year-old cousin in 2008.
DeNucci hired Gaetano S. Spezzano as a fraud examiner even though Spezzano was not qualified for the post and did not complete the second page of a two-page job application, the commission alleged.
Ethics regulators also said that there was no such position at the time and that no other candidates were considered.
Spezzano had a degree in music and had previously been a professional jazz musician and a salesman for a meat company, the commission said....
And then he became an.... accountant?
Spezzano went on sick leave in December 2009 from the $40,545-a-year job.
More than he probably ever made jazzing.
In April 2010, after he had used all of his sick leave, his employment was terminated, according to the commission.
DeNucci also took heat last month for giving his staff a 5 percent raise amid layoffs in the state workforce.
The state Republican Party, which is hoping to win the auditor’s race this fall, issued a statement yesterday criticizing DeNucci’s “patronage hiring,’’ saying, “Voters know there’s an urgent need to change the status quo on Beacon Hill.’’
Within the bubble of Massachusetts politics, yeah. One-party, liberal fascism sucks.
The only one I can think of is my former state rep who is retiring. Called his office one day and he answered the phone!
I think I know why he is getting out. It's hard for honest people to survive amongst such slime, just as it is hard for people of peace in all times.
