DA Conley: Massachusetts has some very strong and sensible gun legislation, but the great majority of gun crimes here are committed with firearms from states with looser laws.
Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley was first elected DA in 2002. He was previously an assistant district attorney for the office and a Boston City Councilor. He answered some questions from Patch. Patch: You've done a lot of work on anti-bullying, did you ever think anti-bullying would be a focus of the DA's office? How was bullying treated when you were growing up? Conley: Children and teens should be able to learn and grow without fear of bullying, harassment, threats, or violence. It is easy to claim that bullying is a rite of passage for youngsters, but we know that’s just not true. We understand the harm that bullying can cause. The very nature of bullying has changed since I was young. Victims once had an escape when they …

Suffolk County has more than 11,000 federal employees, most of whom work in veterans' affairs.
The numbers here show the federal employees in Massachusetts by county in 2012, according to the latest figures from Eye on Washington, a DC-based lobbying firm that tracks federal employment. It compiles the data from the Office of Personnel Management, Federal Employment Statistics and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While much has been made written on how the current sequestration battle in Washington could affect the national economy, these numbers are meant to give readers a sense of the sequestration at the local level. No one knows for certain what the sequestration cuts, some $85 billion, will mean exactly. Even if the March 1 federal cuts are enacted, the full effects would not be felt immediately. The government is required to …

It is high time that we talked back to government. Dan Conley says: "With every gun taken off the street, you can be certain that a violent crime has been prevented." But Dan, that's not the problem...it is not the presence of guns on the street that is causing violent crime. You said it yourself -- "Many of our fatal and non-fatal shootings are gang-related and retaliatory in nature"-- push for …   more ›
