Braintree Mayor To Testify On Work Waiver For Chief Shastany

Officials for the Town of Braintree are scheduled to appear at the State House to explain why the former Stoughton Police Chief should remain the Braintree Police Chief.

Braintree Mayor Joseph Sullivan is scheduled to testify on a bill that would waive the cap for the amount of public work retired public officials can do. Interim Police Chief Shastany, who retired as the Stoughton Police Chief last year, has logged about 80 days of work this year with a 120-day cap for public work performed by retirees approaching, according to the Boston Herald.

The billed filed in the legislature would waive the cap and allow him to remain Braintree's top cop through November 2019, when he turns 65.

Shastany was hired as the interim chief in the wake of an evidence room scandal that rocked the department. Sullivan has since asked Shastany to remain as the permanent chief.
