As you will have learn, the Globe interviewed the now former Metropolis Corridor employee who could or could not have taken a swing at a police officer whereas she and her boyfriend – now additionally previously employed at Metropolis Corridor – have been in full spat mode, partially, she now claims, as a result of his boss, Metropolis Corridor small-business and alternative czar Segun Idowu, had propositioned her, in truth, invited her as much as a room on the Park Plaza after they completed drinks at Hue.
The Globe reported this afternoon the Wu administration is bringing in exterior employment attorneys to assist the town HR division re-review the case.
Wu’s most important opponent, Josh Kraft, in fact, is outraged:
The individuals of Boston have a proper to know what the Mayor knew – or ought to have recognized – about this matter. And the individuals of Boston – significantly ladies – ought to demand that there be penalties for senior officers that interact in inappropriate sexual conduct at Metropolis Corridor.
As the daddy of two grownup daughters, I might be horrified if one thing like this occurred of their office.
Kraft was joined in outrage by Metropolis Councilors Erin Murphy (at giant) and Ed Flynn (South Boston, Chinatown, Downtown, South Finish), who filed an “emergency” decision right now calling for an impartial investigation into Idowugate.
Allegations of retaliation, moral misconduct, and abuse of energy – particularly involving senior management – demand greater than inner critiques and closed-door selections. They demand an impartial investigation.
Factor is, requests for speedy council motion require a unanimous vote and Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson, who appears like she’ll maintain drawing a payroll till she’s sentenced subsequent month, voted no, so the emergency measure shall be gradual walked over to a council committee for research (because of Hardy Har Har for the replace).
One in every of Kraft’s massive points is the $100 million or so the town is pouring into a brand new White Stadium, which the native ladies’s professional soccer staff may also get to make use of each time it winds up truly completed. The Herald not too long ago reported that some submitting in federal courtroom it reviewed positioned Kraft in line to take over dad’s New England Revolution after his loss of life.
So? The issue is not only that dad owns the staff however that it needs to construct its personal stadium in Everett – proper subsequent to that bizarre little little bit of Boston that juts throughout the Mystic River, which suggests Boston is anticipating some critical negotiations on how will probably be reimbursed for the prices of getting a big soccer stadium with no parking proper on its border (and extra essential, simply up the road from the important thing and ever clogged rotary at Sullivan Sq.). Kraft has already mentioned he would recuse himself from the negotiations.
Flipside coated a current discussion board for at-large and District 7 council candidates and posted not only a story however a few tables exhibiting how candidates stand on a wide range of points. Housing gave the impression to be the primary concern, Flipside says.
