O'Connell Out At Econ. Dev.

Published Jan 30 2009, 12:04 PM by David S. Bernstein

A mere week after this reporter socked him with a B- grade, the Patrick administration has announced that Dan O'Connell is out; he has been Secretary of Housing and Economic Development for two years.

there seems to be a harvard problem with the 'columnist'. is this a brandeis problem or is it because so many remainders of the phoenix are left in ART's lobby every week?
