- A Boston police officer has been suspended for ticketing a slew of vehicles parked near the Statehouse on the same day the state Senate cut funding for a police education bonus program.
Police department spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll told the Boston Herald that internal affairs is investigating whether the ticketing spree was "improper use of authority." Police Commissioner Ed Davis told WBZ-AM radio that Officer John P. Mullan, who earned $110,000 last year, has been suspended for two days.
Mullan handed out 15 tickets Wednesday, the same day the Senate slashed $51 million in funding for the Quinn Bill, which boosts pay for police officers with advanced degrees. The newspaper reported that Mullan earned an additional $13,000 last year based on the bill.
If the cars were parked illegally, then why would he be punished for doing his job? If he was sending a message, the cars were still parked illegally, so what's the problem?
But we're more interested in the "Quinn Bill" that pays officers more based on their level of education. We heard that LA does the same thing. Has this been explored by our local FOP? We'd take an extra $13,000 a year based on our degrees. We'd go back for doctorates for an extra $20,000.
