G. L. c. 66, 5 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on January 17,2018, Mr.

Based on advice from the Mayor and the City Solicitor, the Chief forwarded the investigative report to the State Ethics Commission. The report was forwarded to the State Ethics Commission on February 4, 2003. (Testimony of Chief St. Pierre and Exhibit 11) 13. The State Ethics Commission subsequently completed a review of the abovereferenced matter which was resolved by way of a public disposition agreement dated June 22, 2005.

The State Ethics Commission enforces the Commonwealth's Conflict of Interest Law. We therefore decline to 1 review this allegation, and refer the complainant to the State Ethics Commission with any questions regarding filing a complaint with their office. With regard to the two remaining allegations, we find that the Commission did not violate the Open Meeting Law for the reasons listed below. Mr.

Herman requested the following with regard to [an identified person]: [A] The City of Boston and the BRA consulted with the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission (Ethics Commission) regarding this appointment.

McKenna, [t]hat would be with the State Ethics Commission, not us. . . . Given your inquiry, I had it checked and there is not a copy in [Ms. McMahons] file. As a result of the Schools September 8th response, Mr. McKenna petitioned the Supervisor of Records, and this appeal was opened. The Public Records Law The Public Records Law strongly favors disclosure by creating a presumption that all governmental records are public records. G.

The State Ethics Commission has ruled that requests by police officers for consideration of dismissal of traffic citations based on the violators personal connection with a police officer violate the conflict of interest law (MGL268A s23). b. Members of this department are hereby informed that this activity is unlawful. VI. SPEED VIOLATIONS Speed is one of the main causes of accidents.
