MA: Bristol County Sheriff race leaves many questions.

It’s great to be a judge’s son – just ask Rep. John Quinn, the Democrat running for sheriff of Bristol County.

Quinn’s father the judge retired in 1986 and has since been collecting a pension of $46,639.44 a year. Now the judge’s son, the solon, admits to the local paper that he was “arrested twice during the 1980s, once for operating under the influence and once for disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct, but pointed out the charges were later dismissed.”

It must be great to be a judge’s son. Did I mention Quinn’s brother currently works for the Bristol County district attorney’s office and makes $120,000 a year? Other Quinn hacks are likewise doing well in the hackerama, I am reliably informed, but Quinn refused to return multiple phone calls to discuss his family’s decades-long chowdown at the public trough.

Now, he is running for sheriff and that $123,209 sheriff’s salary would set him up for an even bigger pension than his daddy the judge gets.
