Good riddance
My state senator was arrested by the FBI today. It’s long overdue.

- Embattled state senator arrested by FBI (Globe)
- Surveillance of Wilkerson allegedly accepting bribes (Globe photo gallery)
- FBI nabs Wilkerson (Phoenix)
- Wilkerson arrested by FBI (Politicker MA)
- Sen. Dianne Wilkerson arrested in bribery sting (Herald)
- Department of Justice press release (pdf)
- Affidavit (pdf)
A vile, corrupt and arrogant politician who was interested in no one but herself. What’s going to be interesting now is the dancing madly backwards shuffle her supporters will be doing to distance themselves from here. Your move, Menino. She is so quick to play the race card, that you just know this indictment is rock solid and bullet proof. The affidavit reads like a movie. I am surprised she wasn’t able to keep this quiet until after the election as she’s been able to do before. Then again, these are the Feds, not the city and state water boys she’s been able to brow beat up till now.
Bye bye, Dianne.
