New Bedford Faces Probe Into Vote Buying
The Walsh investigation nears two days in, with a claim that a city leader faces eventual accountability. A New Bedford man says he and two others saw voters paid after the State election, money in envelopes marked with voter names. Local leaders dispute central committee funding, noting $3,000 spent by the city committee for Frothingham's campaign and asserting mill owners may have provided sums, while authorities take little action against the practice.
