Reversing his previous position, House majority leader John H. Rogers is refusing to turn over records explaining what services his campaign committee received for the $196,000 it paid over two years to a consulting firm that was created and operated by his former law partner. Following a Globe story earlier this month that raised questions about the expenditures, Rogers also hired Boston lawyer Thomas R. Kiley, a well-known ethics specialist for the Beacon Hill political establishment, to handle any potential legal issues…. Neither Rogers nor his staff responded to repeated requests for a statement explaining why he has decided to keep the campaign expense records from public view.
The Globe article linked above has some background; see also Ernie’s two previous posts for more on this. Clamming up and hiring an expensive lawyer doesn’t exactly look great for Rep. Rogers.
The Rogers stuff is troubling, but what I noticed about the article was the last paragraph:
Anyone know anything about this “speculation”?!
Yes, I believe Sen. Bulger was a PARTICULAR specialty….
