...primary purpose of G.L. c. 66, § 10, is to give the public broad access to government documents. See Cape Cod Times v. Sheriff of Barnstable County, 443 Mass. 587, 592 (2005); General Elec. Co. v. Department of Envtl. Protection, 429 Mass. 798, 802 (1999); Globe Newspaper Co. v. Boston Retirement Bd., 388 Mass. 427, 436 (1983).

"General Laws c. 268A regulates the conduct of State, county, and municipal employees relating to the performance of their official duties." Edgartown v. State Ethics Comm'n, 391 Mass. 83, 84 (1984). It was "enacted as part of 'comprehensive legislation ... [to] strike at corruption in public office, inequality...
...Baptist church were family and friends had gathered. In an instant, a scene of euphoria turned to shock, sadness and anger. Family members moaned, clutching their foreheads and stomachs. One man jumped in his pickup truck, drove through the mud and gravel and nearly rammed a news reporter and sheriff?s cruiser, before throwing the truck in reverse and roaring off. "Oh, I am angry now,? said Sam Lantz, whose son-in-law Marty Bennett was killed. ?They lied...
...they might accept one if immigrants had to return home to apply for temporary work permits. Hayworth tells TIME that even that would be too lenient, designed to appease "left-wing grievance mongers" and businesses that want cheap labor. Bush may have sounded as if he were running for sheriff during his recent border visits, but to convince the likes of Hayworth, he'll have to talk a lot tougher...
