Mass. Candidates for Governor Clash over State Police Union Endorsement
The union said its contract was negotiated through mediation and arbitration and called Minogue’s corruption claim false.
- The State Police Association of Massachusetts is demanding an apology from Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Minogue after he alleged the union traded its endorsement of Governor Maura Healey for a favorable labor contract.
- In a social media post Saturday, Minogue alleged a secret deal for an 18% wage increase over three years, claiming the Healey Administration engaged in a "quid pro quo" to secure the endorsement.
- SPAM President Brendan Murphy called the allegations "categorically false," stating the contract provides 11% raises over three years, consistent with other state unions and negotiated through mediation and arbitration.
- On Monday in Framingham, Governor Healey dismissed the accusations as "more lies and nonsense" and defended her work with law enforcement throughout her career as attorney general and governor.
- With Election Day approaching on November 3, this dispute underscores the high stakes of the race as both campaigns battle for law enforcement support in the final week before voting.
