00:00The conduct alleged by the Lawrence mayor and the district state
00:04representative is appalling. Everyone listening today knows how difficult it
00:10was for Americans during the pandemic and how challenging it was for
00:14businesses. The money these two individuals allegedly scammed was meant
00:19for hardworking Americans and struggling business business owners,
00:23not for too greedy individuals who lied and stole for their own personal
00:28benefit. I think it should be clear now that we are taking fraud seriously in
00:33Massachusetts. From snap and housing fraud to voter fraud to pandemic relief
00:38fraud, we are dialed in and laser focused on rooting out every bit we
00:44find. We will continue to hold fraudsters accountable until the stealing stops. It
00:50is never a proud moment when we arrest a public official, but we will continue
00:54to do it until the message is received. No one is above the law and no one gets a
01:00pass.
