Lowell Sun: DiMasi set to resign

January 23, 2009 By eury13 2 Comments

The Lowell Sun credits an unnamed Statehouse with the news that DiMasi is set to resign “during the next couple of days.”

A Statehouse source called the departure “imminent” after a receiving a flurry of phone calls last night and early this morning from several of the speaker’s closest colleagues. While no one would confirm or deny the Speaker’s resignation, the source said he was alerted to “developments” under way.

A second source told The Sun that several legislators were girding for an ascension fight between Rep. Robert DeLeo, D-Winthrop, and Rep. John Rogers, D-Norwood.

“Phone calls are already being made to line up support (for a new speaker). There’s a different urgency than past rumors,” he said.

The same source said he was not “reassured” by DiMasi staffers when he questioned them about the talk spreading through Statehouse offices. “In the past, the rumors were cast aside pretty firmly. That’s not the case today.”

If this is accurate, I wonder why now? What’s about to come out that’s forcing DiMasi’s hand?

Furious and heartbroken that MA will limp forward after the pandemic with the same broken #localpublichealth system. How is it OK to let zip code decide health protections? #mapoli https://commonwealthmagazine.org/politics/lawmakers-advocates-hit-bakers-opt-in-approach-to-public-health/

... There should be supervision over those decisions by prosecutors, though. And the 58A law should be reformed.

@TheLeoTerrell Why?

Search Warrants have a process that was followed. Is Trump above the law?

Why Trump didn’t collaborate? Since January he has been warned. What is he hiding?

Why the FBI was good against Hillary but bad against Trump?

Is Trump above the law?

This guy believed Republican officials and Fox News Hosts who said @FBI and DOJ weaponized a search warrant against @realDonaldTrump. Armed with a nail gun and an AR-15 he went to the Cincinnati FBI Field Office where he died. He believed Trump about election 2020 too #mapoli
