Rachael Rollins and Other Massachusetts Public Servant Updates – A Deep Dive

The Massachusetts political scene – it’s like a soap opera but with fewer dramatic hair flips and way more Dunkin’. And just when you thought the saga of one controversial figure had faded to black, she pops up again, teaching ethics at a community college. Okay, maybe not ethics, but still… Let’s dive into the latest updates on Rachael Rollins and other Bay State public servant shenanigans, shall we?

Rachael Rollins: Continued Fallout and New Beginnings?

Remember Rachael Rollins? Firebrand District Attorney? Frequent flyer on the controversy express? Yeah, she’s back in the news, and this time, it’s not about indicting imaginary white supremacists harassing Black Lives Matter marchers. After a tumultuous stint as Suffolk County DA and an even shorter, rockier ride as U.S. Attorney, Rollins has landed a new gig. Hold your gasps, folks, she’s now a “part-time projects administrator” at Roxbury Community College.

Credit Card Concerns Linger

You’d think after the whole credit card scandal thing blew up in her face (more on that later), someone would’ve confiscated Rollins’ plastic. But fear not, taxpayers of Massachusetts! A public records request has confirmed that Rollins does NOT have a state-funded credit card at Roxbury CC.

Whew, that’s a relief. For now, at least. The college also confirmed that there are currently no plans to transition Rollins to full-time employment. Emphasis on “currently.”

New Role at Roxbury Community College

So, what exactly does a “part-time projects administrator” do? Good question. According to sources, Rollins’ mission is to “create a robust Restorative Justice Program” for formerly incarcerated citizens, particularly women of color. She reports to a college vice president, though exactly which one remains a closely guarded secret.

Unanswered Questions and Evasive Responses

The whole situation has a distinctly “hush-hush” vibe, wouldn’t you say? When asked about Rollins’ employment, the state Department of Higher Education clammed up tighter than a clam at a buffet. Their evasiveness has only fueled speculation about Rollins’ qualifications, salary (funded by taxpayers, naturally), and of course, her eligibility for a state pension.

Remember those credit card “concerns” we mentioned earlier? Yeah, those haven’t magically disappeared. During her time as Suffolk DA, Rollins racked up a whopping thirty-three thousand, one hundred thirty-two big ones on her state-issued credit card. We’re talking lavish hotel stays, fancy dinners, and enough airline miles to circle the globe twice. And let’s not forget the Celtics tickets! Because nothing says “fighting for the little guy” like courtside seats at the Garden.
