Thank you, tipsters, plural!!!
The Commission effectively rescinded the appointment of the (Medford) Police Chief’s niece and ordered a new review process.
Sometimes Its a Family Affair
In 2009, the Civil Service Commission found that the Medford Police Chief’s involvement in a hiring process in which the Chief’s niece was a candidate tainted the selection process. The Commission effectively rescinded the appointment of the Police Chief’s niece and ordered a new review process. In Minoie v. Town of Braintree, 27 MCSR 216 (2014) & 27 MCSR 615 (2014), the Commission found that the Police Chiefs involvement in a hiring process in which his son was a candidate tainted the process. The Commission ultimately allowed the appointment but initiated an investigation in which the Town was ordered to modify its hiring practices to prevent similar future occurrences.http://masscivilservicelaw.com/sometimes-its-a-family-affair/
