Speaking of the governor, the Globe’s Shirley Leung is wondering when something will stick to “our wonk in shining armor,” aka Charlie Baker, who’s had a bad week, fending off questions about DOR patronage hires and yet more scandals at the State Police, both in addition to a recent state data breach, a bond downgrade, a $100,000 bathroom, etc. She obviously didn’t have room to mention past DCR shenanigans, botched GIC and vehicle-inspection rollouts, etc.

| Judge asks for slap on the wrist for his affair with courthouse employee |
| |
From Bob McGovern at the Herald: “An embattled western Massachusetts judge will fight for his job in front of the state’s highest court next month after admitting that he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a courthouse employee. Judge Thomas Estes, previously the presiding judge at Eastern Hampshire District Court in Belchertown, admitted in a filing with the Supreme Judicial Court that he had numerous sexual encounters with former specialty court clinician Tammy Cagle in his chambers and at her home.”
So what’s his attorney asking for? A four-month suspension without pay, an apology letter and “other sanctions.” But he’d get to keep his job. We’re not sure this is going to pass muster in the #MeToo era.
