In a story I’ve followed (click on the Massachusetts category), former Massachusetts House Speaker DiMasi was indicted yesterday.

Former Massachusetts House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi and three associates were indicted Tuesday on federal charges alleging they conspired to help a software company win $20 million in state contracts and conceal money they got from the company.

DiMasi, who resigned in January from one of the three most powerful jobs in state government, proclaimed his innocence as he and the others were arraigned in U.S. District Court.
