asst. commonwealth’s attorney

The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors appears ready to fight a lawsuit rather than fund an assistant commonwealth’s attorney that would review and handle law enforcement’s body-worn camera recordings.

On Aug. 4 in a 3-2 vote, supervisors declined to fund an assistant commonwealth’s attorney at an entry level salary of $80,725, plus benefits. Voting against funding were supervisors Reggie Williams, Bill Harris and Don Harris. Supervisors Wayne Jessie and Randy Crittenden voted to fund the position.
