This one is a redo of sorts, after some technical difficulties as Chris explains at the top. You can’t always be perfect, though we do try and might I add very often succeed.

On the docket for this one: Collusion between Thomas Duffy allegedly by others and Northwest District ADA Steven Gagne in the “apology” statement drafted as a plea deal condition in the Spring & Haxhiaj trials. Then: Former city councilor Sarai Rivera and her husband in hot water for lavish trips paid out, according to a state filing, from an investment operation under the vague umbrella of their church. Fully Gemstones coded if you ask me. Talk about misbehavin’.
