Nuciforo is a hypocrite for criticizing Neal on raising money from big banks and insurance companies because Nuciforo did the same thing as a state Senator.

Good essay. Luciforo doesn't stand a chance against Richie Neal!

Jimmy Ruberto supported his Good Old Boy friends Angelo Stracuzzi and Carmen Massimiano, but opposed an intelligent woman named Pam Malumphy. I'm happy to see Pam Malumphy vindicated by 1Berkshire.

I don't blame John Walter Olver for endorsing Richard Neal over Luciforo. After all, Luciforo wanted Olver's job for years now. Plus, Luciforo is a phony!

Nuciforo is a career politician who wants a seat in Congress to represent himself first and foremost and also insurance companies. I agree with the commentator that Nuciforo should resign his no-show job at the Registry of Deeds. Please vote for Richard Neal for U.S. Congress.

Nuciforo was a corporate Attorney representing insurance companies against claimants for a Boston law firm named "Berman & Dowell". He raised over 6 figures in special interest money from big banks and insurance companies while Nuciforo was a state Senator. Nuciforo chaired financial committees regulating big banks and insurance companies. Nuciforo is corrupt.

I think Richard Neal will represent the Berkshires well. I hope Neal wins re-election.

The "Big Dig" bankrupted Massachusetts government. About $20 billion in waste, fraud, abuse, and pork.

Re: "Nuciforo’s perjury, fraud and conflicts of interest"

The following facts explain the illegal and unethical business activities of former state Senator Andrea F. Nuciforo II:

Fact: Nuciforo was one of five corporate Attorneys for a Boston Law Firm named "Berman & Dowell" for nearly 8 years.

Fact: Nuciforo committed conflict of interest violations by both sitting as the Chairman of the Committee on Banks and Banking in the Massachusetts State Senate and serving as a corporate Attorney for “Berman and Dowell” in Boston.

Conclusion: Nuciforo is corrupt. Nuciforo never explained to the People his position as a corporate Attorney for “Berman and Dowell” in Boston. Nuciforo is BOUGHT AND PAID FOR by the Boston special interests! Especially, big bank and insurance companies, and their lobbyists.

DATA:

ANDREA F. NUCIFORO, JR., of Counsel for "Berman & Dowell" Law Firm from January 1999 — September 2006 (7 years 9 months)--
Practice Areas: Professional Liability Defense; Commercial Litigation; Banking Law; Insurance Coverage; Insurance Defense.

Massachusetts State Senator from 1997 — 2006; Chairman, Committee on Banks and Banking, Massachusetts State Senate, Berkshire, Hampshire and Franklin District.

Nuciforo is corrupt. He served as a corporate Attorney for a Boston law firm named "Berman & Dowell" where he represented insurance companies against claimants, while he also served as state Senator where he chaired financial committees regulating the same financial companies he was legally representing, and raising over 6 figures in campaign contributions from. Nuciforo wants to go to U.S. Congress to represent big banks and insurance companies in return for many thousands of dollars in special interest money. Moreover, in 2006, Nuciforo strong-armed 2 women candidates named Sara Hathaway & Sharon Henault out of the state government election for Pittsfield Registry of Deeds to anoint himself to a sinecure. Why doesn't the Berkshire Eagle cover these issues?

What about Andrea Nuciforo's public record? Nuciforo strong-armed 2 women candidates out of a 2006 state government election to anoint himself to a sinecure whle he plots his run for U.S. Congress. The 2 women candidates were named Sara Hathaway & Sharon Henault. Moreover, Nuciforo served as a corporate Attorney for Berman & Dowell law firm in Boston for nearly 8 years while he was a state Senator who chaired financial comittees he was serving as a corporate Attorney.

I was falsely arrested more than 2 years ago in Manchester, NH for alleged crimes that I am innocent of. I am a Disabled Veteran and SSDI recipient due to my psychiatric conditions. The local cop screamed at one of the witnesses to my false arrest: "I do NOT care if he (Jonathan Melle) is disabled!" The prosecutor derisively laughed at me in front of my Attorney and the NH Superior Court Judge when my plea bargain was declined. The cop's absurd story defies the laws of physics and common sense. He illegally used multiple kinds of force against me without properly verbally communicating to me in front of two witnesses -- one a young Attorney and the other a mental health worker. My trial by jury will take place on September 28, 2009, in NH Superior Court in downtown Manchester. The city of Manchester and state of New Hampshire is violating all of my human, civil and legal rights as a citizen who has mental health disabilities. After I am found NOT guilty, I am going to file a lawsuit in Federal Court whereby I am going to sue the city and state for many millions of dollars in damages!
