(Turf wars are bad. One of the things that persuaded me that Gerry Leone was the right guy to be Middlesex DA was his dedication to, and record of, preventing crap like this from going on. - promoted by David)
The governor has authority over the state fire marshal so as to exert pressure and straighten out this bizarre one-sided pissing contest going on in Danvers.
Kudos to the feds.
I can't wait for that report. Veiled allegations and innuendo (or worse) of code violations that can not be proven because they were not allowed timely access to the site. Implications that state and local officials corrupted the scene with their investigations.
The report may conclude "Perhaps this would not have happened if the code violations had been observed by local fire inspectors during their routine inspections."
