Massachusetts Democrats Call for Independent Investigation into State Trooper Scandals of the Baker Administration

BOSTON – Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair Gus Bickford released the following statement in response to Governor Charlie Baker’s handling of recent scandals involving fraud and abuse within the Massachusetts State Police:

“When senior command staff at the scandal-ridden State Police are given a way out through retirement in the wake of serious allegations and the Governor turns around and says it’s a ‘good thing’ when charges are brought against a middle manager in the payroll department, it’s time for an independent investigation.”
