the current scandal in the Probation Department is about "Separation of Powers".
Said department has become Separated from any Power of oversight and good public management.
As for Speaker DeLeo, he is swimming in deep waters, if I was him I'd recuse myself from any discussion of the matter, rent a fishing shack in Provincetown and hope for an oil slick in Nantucket Sound.
Again I hate to harp on a old metaphor, but Murray and DeLeo will gladly jump thru hoops of fire when gaming and casino gambling is under discussion, but when a sickening patronage scandal detonates in the Probation Department suddenly they wanna go slow, throw the car into neutral, block off the wheels even.
I say pass the Governor's gawd-damned bill to move the Probation Department over to the Executive Department and be done with it, there is plenty of oversight to found therein.
