“153 pounds of bourbon steak tips, a 2005 Prius he gave to a woman not his wife, repairs to the Prius when that woman crashed it, fees for 170 hours of time at a Weymouth studio to record songs for his wife and friends, a lacquered self-portrait for his wife, an electric fryer and 27 fleece vests embroidered with ‘Men of Divine Mercy’ for members of a religious group he belonged to.”

@overholt this is the most Boston corruption scandal I’ve seen in a while.

Who do I have to bribe to get some steak tips in Baltimore?

@overholt I mean, I made steak tips for dinner last night—they even had bourbon in the recipe—but still!

@overholt Still not sure how we ended up here, but I’m reading this and thinking:

ah, finally, some good old corruption again. Not fascism, not institutionalized evil; just stealing money to buy relatable things.

I mean, whomst among us would pass up the opportunity to eat 153 pounds of steak tips on the public dime?

@overholt 170 hours of studio time? A week including nights or 4 weeks with a bit over 8 hours per day?
