Massachusetts Lt. Gov. to Step Down

Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Tim Murray (D) is expected to resign today to take a private sector job.

‘Sources close to Murray tell WBZ-TV Murray is poised to leave his office as early as today. There is some speculation he has another position lined up.”

Boston Globe: “He has been dogged by questions about a 2011 early-morning car crash in a state vehicle and his ties to former Chelsea Housing Authority director Michael McLaughlin, who earlier this year pleaded guilty to federal felony charges of concealing his salary.”
