Massachusetts Treasurer’s Bottom Line: Speak No Evil

· Story link

Massachusetts Treasurer Timothy Cahill has executed a half dozen confidentially agreements with departing employees, promising to keep the reasons for their leaving private in exchange for a promise they won’t speak ill of the treasurer’s office. Cahill said he’s simply bringing private business practices to the public realm. One of the departed employees left shortly after downloading so much pornography on his office computer that it collapsed. He then took a top finance post at a state university that knew nothing of the computer incident. The university fired him when they later learned about it. (11/10/05)
