Rosenberg stays mum on Joyce but may back client disclosure

BOSTON – With last week's federal law enforcement raid of Sen. Brian Joyce's law office fresh in the minds of many on Beacon Hill, Senate President Stanley Rosenberg on Monday held firm on his commitment to allow the investigation of Joyce to unfold fully before the Senate takes any action.

"The Senate is busy at work; we have sessions, we put out legislation, we have committees, commissions, all kinds of work is going on," Rosenberg said during an appearance on WGBH's Boston Public Radio program. "This is clearly in the picture. It's regrettable on a human level, it's regrettable on a professional level, but the reality is that investigations are underway and we're going to continue to do our work and when they come to resolution if there are resolutions that require the Senate to act we will act at that time."
