Battenfeld: Minogue tries to tie scandal-ridden state police to Healey
Does anyone seriously believe Gov. Maura Healey would back the state police so blindly — saying she is “proud” of them — if not for the union’s endorsement of her? Republican gubernatorial nominee Mike Minogue has taken a bold stance against the powerful state police union, attempting to tie the scandal-ridden agency to Gov. Maura Healey. Minogue accused the union of using a contract negotiation to secure an endorsement within 60 days of the election. However, the Healey campaign used this accusation to connect Minogue to President Trump. The union has responded by demanding an apology from Minogue. This comes after Minogue questioned whether Healey negotiated a deal with the union giving them 6% raises in exchange for its endorsement. The New England Police Benevolent Association, which supports over 5000 law enforcement professionals, endorsed Minogue earlier this year.
