"I do believe that as elected officials we are expected to be held to a higher standard,"
Tell that to Leo a Sacco Jr and Harold MacGilvray when the government held them accountable.
HAROLD AND LEO may not have been elected, but elections got them to where their mischief could put scorn and ridicule on Medford. https://medfordinformationcentral.blogspot.com/2024/12/i-do-believe-that-as-elected-officials.html also https://www.wbur.org/news/2024/12/03/boston-fernandes-anderson-federal-investigation-city-council
After the city council hearing Tuesday, Councilor Erin Murphy told reporters she had not spoken to Fernandes Anderson, whose office is next to hers. She also said she had not witnessed any federal agents visiting the offices.
"I do believe that as elected officials we are expected to be held to a higher standard," Murphy said. "So I think it's important that we get the information, because we are getting a lot of questions."
Fernandes Anderson's ascension to the council was historic, as she became the first African immigrant and Muslim-American elected to the body. She represents District 7, which includes Roxbury, Dorchester, Fenway and the South End.
But her tenure on the council has been marred by multiple scandals.
She was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine last year after she admitted to violating the state conflict of interest law. The state Ethics Commission said Fernandes Anderson broke the law by hiring her sister and son to paid positions on her city council staff.
