Archie Mazmanian reports:
The Boston Globe's lead editorial on Wednesday was titled: "Cambridge city manager's pay shows lack of council oversight," apparently following up on Adrian Walker's critical column; the editorial includes a comment on the law suit as well as Healy's high compensation.

Ed: The law suit Archie refers to is, of course, Malvina Monteiro v. City of Cambridge. You will recall that the Cambridge City Council loudly proclaims themselves to be holier than thou on Civil Rights. The Monteiro judge wrote an excellent opinion in which she apparently proved the Cambridge City Manager to be reprehensible. The Monteiro judge supported a strong jury verdict and wrote an excellent opinion in which she apparently proved the Cambridge City Manager to be reprehensible for destroying the life of Malvina Monteiro, a black Cape Verdian in retaliation for her filing a civil rights complaint.
The Cambridge City Council is spending millions defending Healy and very aggressively does not want to know what it is doing. If it wanted to know what it is doing, it would have hired independent council to evaluate the situation and tell the council whether to appeal or fire Healy.
