Not Being In Office Hasn’t Stopped Robert DeLeo From Using Campaign Funds To Buy Flowers

Former Massachusetts House Speaker Robert DeLeo may no longer be an elected official, but that hasn't stopped him from spending campaign funds.

DeLeo, 71, stepped down from his position as the House Speaker and state representative from the 19th Suffolk District in late December 2020, less than two months after winning re-election — and before his new term even began. He took a job at Northeastern University, his alma mater  And yet, he is still using campaign funds to buy flowers for people.
