He was trying to avoid this but a court ruled against him and
apparently that was the final straw for him.

Any impeachment testimony could have been used against him in
court on the other charges.

That creates live ones like Rowland.  But I must state that Rowland is an amateur when compared to the former king Buddy of Providence.

    Boston politics used to be fun, but now we just roll along with plain vanilla, dull polls.  Where in the hell is Kevin White when you need him?

Just take a look at the town he is from. Waterbury, I think the last 4 mayors from that town are in prison, the latest ended up there because the SW he was "dating" sold her young daughters to him so she could get some crack. Sick fucker!!

Is there anything more useless than a New England Republican?

After the Senate impeachment vote, I knew most were useless.  But I had no reason to believe that some were corrupt, too.
