UPDATE (Friday 2:45 p.m.) Governor Charlie Baker's administration has cited the investigation launched by Attorney General Maura Healey into allegations of State Police overtime malfeasance as proof the governor considers the nature of the actions criminal.
BOSTON — Senate President Harriette Chandler is going where Governor Charlie Baker has yet to tread regarding an explosive Massachusetts State Police report accusing more than 20 state troopers of doctoring their overtime filings to haul in paychecks for work they never did.
I teach in a law school. I have previously recounted some of the provocative measures that I now find it necessary to use in the classroom. To prepare my students to receive an education in law I must first give them remedial instruction in critical and logical reasoning. I find that I must pull weeds out of their minds before anything fruitful can take root there.
One of the most pernicious weeds is the notion that discrimination is inherently evil and unjust. This weed has deep roots in their understanding and character. In fact, they seem to believe that the only person worse than someone who discriminates is someone who judges.
