EX JUDGE CREEPY PAUL CAVANAUGH ENDS UP IN HOWIE CARR'S COLUMN ON FATHER'S DAY...AND IT IS NOT VERY FATHERLY...
WHOSE HANDS HAVE MORE ALLEGED STAIN ON THEM? ROBERT A. MAIOCCO OR PAUL CAVANAUGH? YOU BE THE JUDGE.
Carr: Every day a holiday for hack judges
Good gig for payroll Charlies
Other ex-legislator double-dippers: Fran Marini, yet another ex-Republican House leader, $83,966 judicial pension, $15,096 from the General Court. Paul Cavanaugh, ex-Medford rep, ex-Middlesex hack, ex-judge: a total of $113,438 in two different pensions.
But there’s at least a theoretical chance you might have heard of some of these bust-out politicians. They once put their names on the ballot, even if it was 25 or 30 years ago. Some of the other double-dipping hacks have always flown totally under the radar screen, immune to any public scrutiny, and now they’re finishing life at home in their spare time with six-figure payouts.

So when Medford State Rep. Paul Cavanaugh had the nerve to file a bill this year that would strip the 1itle from all Plan E City Manager cities, such as Lowell, LeMay got his baek up. With a little help from the Lowell delegation, whom LeMay contacted along with opposition from other Plan E cities, the bill died in committee. Apparently Cavanaugh filed the bill because of a running feud he was having with the mayor of Medford, whom he thought he would take down a peg by stripping him of his title and give him the honor of being called the chairman of the city council. How does Chairman LeMay sound?

Howie Carr went after a Medford politician this past Sunday. Who are these individuals? Here's what a quick search brought up:
In Re: Paul J. Cavanaugh
Order Entered by the Board on November 13, 2006 Dismissing Petition for Discipline.
HEARING REPORT
A petition for discipline was filed by Bar Counsel on August 25, 2005 against the Respondent, Judge Paul J. Cavanaugh.1 The petition charged, in essence, that the Respondent asked a member of the Commission on Judicial Conduct, Gerald C.J. Cook, about the CJC’s investigation of Judge David E. Harrison; asked Mr. Cook to speak to Judge Harrison about the investigation; and obtained from Mr. Cook a copy of the CJC confidential investigative memorandum on Judge Harrison, which the Respondent then provided to Judge Harrison.
The Respondent, represented by counsel, filed an answer on September 15, 2005. Hearings were held on March 6, 7, 8, 13, 14 and 15, 2006. Eleven exhibits were admitted into evidence.2 Bar Counsel called as witnesses Gerald C.J. Cook, Gillian Pearson, and Judge David E. Harrison. The Respondent testified and called as witnesses Charles Luongo, Sharon Ferrari, Joseph McDonough, John Zamparelli, Judge Bonnie MacLeod-Mancuso, Richard Egbert, and Alphonse R. Frezza. The parties filed proposed findings of fact, conclusions of law and recommendations on May 5, 2006. On July 11, 2006, the Chair of the Hearing Committee recused himself from this matter.
