Quote of the Day
“Treasurer Goldberg has willfully side-stepped both Massachusetts law and any process at all, let alone due process, by removing Chair O’Brien while deceptively attempting to label her action as merely a ‘suspension,’ ” the complaint reads. “The statute enabling the CCC provides Treasurer Goldberg with no authority to ‘suspend’ a commissioner, much less to do so without any process whatsoever.”
