he Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance today blasted Governor Maura Healey and Attorney General Andrea Campbell for their silence and absence amid the growing scandal surrounding Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins, who was arrested last week on federal extortion charges and is now under scrutiny for over $133,000 in questionable taxpayer-funded expenses.

In the wake of news reports concerning House Speaker Bob DeLeo’s use of a secret, taxpayer funded credit card, the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance is calling on the State Ethics Commission to review the case and lay out official guidelines for future use of state issued credit cards by public employees.
