To me, all those spoke to the problems of self-censorship and freedom of speech, and that's why I wrote to 40 Danish cartoonists asking...
...Crimson's efforts to establish a correlation between a "special [S]tate employee" or "special county employee" for purposes of the Massachusetts conflict of interest statute, G.L. c. 268A, § 1, and an HUPD officer who has been appointed as a "special State police officer" or a deputy sheriff, is unpersuasive. "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...
