Finally... Beacon Hill looks into the MSP scandals
On Wednesday the Joint Committee on Public Service asked Colonel Mason and
Trooper Corey Mackey, president of the State Police Association of
Massachusetts (SPAM) how the fraud has continued and how long it has been going
on. The union's vice president Trooper Patrick McNamara told the committee
chair Barry Finegold it's the work of a few bad apples.
Governor Baker is proposing a bill that would allow the department to punish
troopers swiftly and would allow the Governor to pick the agencies future
leader outside of the ranks.
Union officials back some parts of the bill, but opposes the piece that
would make it easier for the colonel to suspend troopers without pay who are
accused of wrongdoing.
Two reps also asked why pensions should not be taken away as a means of
deterrence.
Another reason why I read the globe very day, Matt Rocheleau, the reporter
who is not afraid to get to the bottom of the MSP scandal.

Who were the two reps who asked about pensions Jim? Hope it was at least one from Framingham
I second that request about who asked the question about pensions. Hooray for them and shame on those who don't think a criminal action by a police officer while on duty does not mean the loss of pension,
no it wasn't any reps from the Ham.
