Wilkerson fallout: Open-meeting complaint filed

By adamg - 11/1/08 - 2:48 pm

Kevin McCrea reports he filed a formal complaint yesterday over the way Dianne Wilkerson's alleged briber got his liquor license.

He posts a copy of his complaint with the Suffolk County DA's office over an Aug. 15, 2007 meeting of the Boston Licensing Board. As noted in the FBI affidavit in the bribery case against Wilkerson, the board did not have Dejavu on its schedule and did not discuss the application and, yet, "on August 16, 2007, the BLB issued a letter notifying Dejavu that its petition for a malt and liquor license had been granted."

Worth noting is that the affidavit specifies that FBI agents attended the Aug. 15 hearing. It'd be interesting if Suffolk County prosecutors interviewed them for their investigation of McCrea's complaint.

I admit, I've been frustrated by the way the federal courts "photograph" documents rather than using a Word/PDF converter of late - makes it much harder to find what I'm looking for in that affidavit.

But unless somebody's willing to print a copy, then run it through some OCR software, then correct that, I guess the only other answer is to get somebody who types really fast to type up a text copy.
