An Easton-based firm linked to Canton’s recently dismissed conservation agent applied for Canton permits in at least half a dozen residential projects while he was employed by the town, according to town records.
Robert J. Murphy was ousted from the post he held for 22 years after members of the town’s Conservation Commission discovered he had ties to M&M Engineering, a firm that was involved in several projects around town.

I believe it is dissengenous for any official to claim "they were shocked" or "had no idea". Either that or their head is deep in the sand.
Also not surprised to read Jim Miller is part of the picture and tied to Murphy. Murphy was an applicant at numerous Stoughton ConCom meetings and some of the conversations between the two should have done lots more then raise eyebrows. All while the little guy would get the shaft. Same old, same old.
Thrilled the Globe looked into this cause you couldn't find it in the local papers. I'd like to know what the DEP will do if anything and if charges of fraud and abuse will be filed? Don't have much faith that "ethics" review will do much of any good.
