A Dianne Wilkerson refresher: she represented the Second Suffolk District from 1993 to 2008. The Second Suffolk includes Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, and parts of Mattapan, Dorchester, Mission Hill, and Chinatown. In 2008, she was charged with accepting bribes for liquor licensing and a development project in Roxbury. Wilkerson served three and a half years of jail time for bribery, and was released from federal prison in September 2013. Since then, she's largely stayed out of the media spotlight. We reached out to Wilkerson on Under the Radar because she knows a lot about the politics at play when it comes to two major stories in Boston right now: who's to blame when it comes to the MBTA's many problems; and the questions we should be asking about Boston's Olympic bid.
