MassGOP Chairman Calls On Coakley To Apologize For Violating Public's Trust After OCPF Violation

 BOSTON –  Last week, MassGOP Chairman Kirsten Hughes called on Attorney General Martha Coakley to apologize for violating the public's trust after the state's top cop was found to have violated campaign finance laws.
"We have finally learned the truth about Martha Coakley's misuse of campaign funds.  It took OCPF to shed light on this scandal because Coakley has refused to explain her actions or how the person who is supposed to enforce the law was instead breaking the law.  I remain troubled by the Attorney General's apparent lack of concern that she failed to follow the laws she is sworn to uphold.  There is no more obscene an example of do as I say, not as I do behavior as the state's top cop violating the law and Coakley should apologize for it," said Kirsten Hughes.
