2 of our last 4 House Speakers have been convicted of felonies from bribery and extortion to obstruction of justice. The third goes to trial next month.
Last month State Senator Diane Wilkerson was convicted of bribery (federal) and sentenced to 2 years in prison. Yesterday, Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner was convicted of bribery and sentenced to 3 years. He is 70 years old, and after sentencing demanded an autopsy if he should die in prison. Meanwhile, former senate president, and UMass president William L. Bulger is pulling down 300 large for the rest of his life from the state. He took the 5th 74 times regarding the whereabouts of his brother James "Whitey" Bulger, number 2 on the FBI's Most Wanted list, after Osama bin Laden Democrats all. We're kinda proud of our corruption here. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
