Question to the financial experts here – what kind of subsidiaries do BOA and State Street have?

January 22, 2009 By AmberPaw 2 Comments

I hope every voter in Suffolk Co reads and rereads this comment until they understand the implications of having a DA Arroyo so inexperienced that he is not qualified to sit as SECOND chair on a Suffolk Co murder trial as prosecutor or public defender. #BosPoli #MaPoli #NoArroyos

Jessamyn Jones @jessamynejones

@orennimni This comment is woefully ignorant & verifiably false. Hayden spent 2x as many years as a defense attorney than Arroyo. Arroyo has so little experience that he does not meet the reqs to lead a jury trial, or even sit 2nd chair on a murder trial, as a public defender or ADA.

Substantive question for @RicardoNArroyo that would help voters differentiate his #SuffolkDA candidacy from DA Hayden’s. Will Ricardo answer? Go after illegal guns or nah, Ricardo? #BosPoli & #MaPoli

Jessamyn Jones @jessamynejones

This account also loves to criticize @dakevinhayden for enforcing gun laws in communities most grievously impacted by gun violence. Does @ricardonarroyo agree w/ @CourtWatchMA that DA should deemphasize illegal gun possession? Will it be on his expanded #DNPlist? #bospoli #mapoli https://twitter.com/CourtWatchMA/status/1559220406371995648

Voting to tank the #NoCostCalls bill, and now endorsing DA Hayden over @RicardoNArroyo? I think its time for her to go. #mapoli
