Birthdays: Rep. Rich Haggerty

“I am particularly grateful that the Court has found that no member of the legislature had committed any impropriety in connection with the allegations in the indictment. It is unfortunate that for six and a half years other legislators and I have lived under the cloud of suspicion of having been involved in illegal activity,”

House Speaker Robert DeLeo

Speaking about his exoneration in the legislature's probation hiring scandal.
