Does Popeo expect anyone to believe that "Winn didn't know anyone who knew how to navigate the system"? Gimme a break!
These revalations only reinforces the suspicion that the development industry has long solicited support for their vested interests by using campaign contributions to key decision makers on Beacon Hill. Makes one wonder how much money was funneled to the campaign opposing the ballot initiative seeking repeal of the so called affordable housing 40B law. Someone should take a hard look at donations coming from involved agencies to see if it came from a similar method which Winn was cited for in this instance.
