BOSTON — Attorney General Maura Healey, recently directed by the state secretary's office to provide a "revised response" to a records request related to her July "copycat" weapons enforcement notice, is doubling down on her earlier stance that the information should be kept out of the public eye.
In a letter obtained Wednesday, Assistant Attorney General Lorraine Tarrow defended the office's decision not to release specific records to Holden resident David Reinhart, who in August filed a public records request he believed would tell him more about how Healey arrived at her decision.
He grew up in a lower middle-income household. His parents worked three jobs. In the winter they wore jackets inside because they could not afford to run the heat. In the summer they worried about losing their home because they could not make mortgage payments. Though the family struggled, they relied on each other. He eventually went to Wharton.
That is not the biography of Donald Trump, a Wharton grad who claims he can relate to the poor, though he had a privileged background far removed from life's struggles. It is the biography of Evan McMullin, a 40-year-old who spent a decade in the Central Intelligence Agency fighting terrorists.
