I think Deval Patrick should step down and stop wasting people's time. He's never getting re-elected.
State Rep. in accident with suspected illegal immigrant

BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A serious car crash involving a local lawmaker and a suspected illegal immigrant is threatening to re-ignite already heated debates about immigration on Beacon Hill, according to police reports obtained by FOX25.
State Rep. Mike Moran of Brighton was rear-ended by a suspected illegal immigrant this week. The suspect was wearing a Mexican costume at the time of the crash where he slammed into Moran at 60 mph.
The suspect, 27-year-old Isaias Naranjo, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, leaving the scene of an accident and driving without a valid license. According the report, when told of the serious charges he would be facing, he just laughed.
But because of action taken by Gov. Deval Patrick, state police were unable to notify immigration authorities that Naranjo might be illegal.
Three years ago, Patrick revoked an order by former governor Mitt Romney which gave state police power to investigate immigration violations.
The governor's aides are defending the measure, saying the department of correction can still persue the violation.
The accident is bound to reverberate at the Statehouse wehere lawmakers just narrowly rejected a bill to crackdown on illegal immigrants.
This could also become an issue in the governor's race because of what Patrick did three years ago.
The suspect, whose blood alcohol content was .25 at the time of the accident according to the police report, is being held on $50,000 cash bail.

BOSTON -- Former state Sen. Anthony Galluccio has been granted parole and will be released from prison after serving about half his sentence for a hit-and-run crash.
The Parole Board's decision was handed down Thursday. The Cambridge Democrat will be released from the Middlesex House of Correction in Billerica on July 14.
Galluccio was given a year in jail on Jan. 4 for violating the terms of his probation by failing a sobriety test.
Galluccio was originally sentenced to house arrest for an October 2009 hit-and-run crash in Cambridge. He was jailed after an electronic monitor indicated he had been drinking. Galluccio blamed the reading on ingredients in his toothpaste.
In a written decision, Parole Board member Cesar Archilla says Galluccio has participated in Alcoholics Anonymous classes and expresses remorse.
Archilla says Galluccio "would benefit from supervised release."

I have to say this is disappointing news.
Multiple repeat offenses.........drinks while on house arrest........... lies in court over toothpaste, like people are really stupid............ leaves the scene of accident that HE caused with a child in the car, and he gets out doing half time?? Another example that the system sucks and does not apply to all. |
