Maine Ski Junkets Cost Massachusetts Man $6,000

Lift tickets are already expensive, but they just got a lot more so for a man who thought he was getting them for free.

Skiing at Sugarloaf just cost a Massachusetts public worker $6,000.

Scott Callahan, a foreman for the Auburn, Massachusetts Water District, violated conflict-of-interest laws by accepting freebie ski trips to Maine from a company that sells water meters to the town, authorities said.

The Massachusetts Ethics Commission ordered Callahan to pay $6,000 in civil penalties for going on ski junkets that the meter manufacturer and distributor paid for.

In his own defense, Callahan said he believes the trips were all above board.

โ€œThey were described to me as opportunities to connect with others in the water industry and nothing more,โ€ he said.

I understand, after all Hunter’s job had nothing to do with his POS father being the VP, it was just given to him cause he was so qualified – great to know another political star is rising, already got the justifications for his corruption down……..
