Holbrook selectman William Watkins has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $8,000, as well as $10,900 in restitution to a local mason, following an investigation into ethics violations stemming from a conflict of interest.
Watkins accepted home improvement work on his walkways, steps, and porch free of charge, taking advantage of his position as a member of the town's board of selectmen member, according to state officials. This conclusion was reached through a Disposition Agreement, where Watkins admitted to the violations and waived his right to a hearing on the matter, according to a press release from the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission.
