发帖数: 29846 | 1 Woman-Beating Democrat Still on the Job While in Jail
by Jammie
Apparently being a Democrat in Massachusetts means you can pretty much do
anything and still remain on the public payroll. Do they have any standards
up there??
Inmate lawmaker Rep. Carlos Henriquez is
doing his Beacon Hill
business from his Billerica jail cell, thumbing through bills and budget
proposals, and speaking to staff by phone “at least once a day,”
according to the disgraced Dorchester Democrat’s legislative aide.
“We’ve been in regular contact with him, and at this point he’s
concerned with the issues of the district,” aide Jessica DaSilva told the
Herald.
DaSilva said Henriquez’s office is fielding four or five constituent
calls a day, mostly from people concerned about cuts to unemployment
benefits. She said Henriquez also has been reviewing budget amendments,
though she would not say which.
“There’s a few. Obviously
I can’t speak for him on
it,”
DaSilva said.
Asked whether the 37-year-old lawmaker is sponsoring any new bills,
DaSilva said, “At this moment, I’m not sure.”
She declined to characterize the telephone calls further, and said she
had not visited Henriquez in person at the Middlesex House of Correction.
Henriquez is serving a six-month sentence there after a jury convicted
him Jan. 15 for the July 2012
assault and battery of a woman he was
dating.
It is unclear whether Henriquez called a private phone or his State
House office; a spokesman for the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office declined to
provide specific information about Henriquez’s phone use.
The spokesman said jail policy allows inmates to make collect calls to
as many as 10 preapproved telephone numbers, not counting lawyers and clergy.
The spokesman said inmates are specifically forbidden from calling
victims and people with active restraining orders against them.
Inmates’ phone pals are required to establish
accounts with
Securus Technologies, the jail’s phone service provider. A Securus
spokesman was not immediately available last night.
Each call carries a $2.50 connection charge, costs 10 cents a minute and
is limited to 15 minutes, the Middlesex jail spokesman said.
Supposedly the governor and state Democrats are looking to remove him from
office. Where have they been since the crime took place nearly two years ago
? Next time some imbecile mentions the so-called War on Women, ask them
about Carlos Henriquez. Chances are they won’t even know his name. |
