Howie’s Brothers Bulger book mentioned a whole bunch of
legislators in the old says who had “a photo finish with a grand jury”.
Rules of MA politics:
Nothing on the level.
Everything is a deal.
No deal too small.

In the old day's, I don't think it has changed. You made a "on top contribution" to the local pols Bag Man, say $250 bucks. If you wanted something you went on the pad or paper for say $500+ the $250.

But and this is very important you needed a second person to verify the $500 under. Moakley, according to unnamed friends, kept a note book.
