DeLeo’s turn: Rep. DiZoglio sparks furor over leadership’s handling of harassment claims

After effectively taking down Senate President Stan Rosenberg with her reporting on sexual-harassment charges against Rosenberg’s husband, the Globe’s Yvonne Abraham dropped another bombshell on the State House yesterday, this time about whether House Speaker Robert DeLeo et gang effectively cloaked years of impropriety in nondisclosure and nondisparagement agreements tied to severance payouts, as the Globe’s Joshua Miller puts it in a follow-up story. It’s all tied to charges leveled by state Rep. Diana DiZoglio – and it created a huge furor yesterday in the House, as SHNS’s Colin Young reports at CommonWealth Magazine. We’ll leave it to Abraham, Miller, Young and the Herald’s Chris Cassidy to sort out and explain everything. But it should be noted that now leadership in both chambers, the House and Senate, are in turmoil, all tied to #MeToo movement accusations, and it’s a big mess. Unlike Rosenberg, DeLeo will probably survive this furor, but he’s definitely wounded and you have to wonder about the effectiveness, if not the future, of House leadership.
