He must now serve out his term in the House of Correction.

yes; at first his probation allowed him out to formal Senate sessions (but this was during holidays so there would be few) and church. When he failed (multiple) the breath test at home, his home confinement was stretched to complete, pending hearing today. Now he’s heading to Billerica House of
Correction for a yr (pending appeal?)

Sounds like a candidate for Dancing With The Stars. Girlfriend of mine refused to watch DWTS because DeLay was on it ... guess she won’t watch any politician on anything any more ...

We’ll have to see; wondering when State Sen President Therese Murray will comment

Senate head to Anthony Galluccio: Get a driver

>>Angry over Sen. Anthony Galluccio’s latest roadway ruckus, Senate President Therese Murray has advised the two-time drunken driving lawmaker to get himself a driver, the Herald has learned.

>>Beacon Hill sources said Murray privately gave the Cambridge Democrat the advice in response to newly disclosed information that Galluccio was chauffeured home by Cambridge cops at 4:40 a.m. Oct. 4, just hours before he slammed his SUV into a minivan in a hit-and-run crash. Galluccio, 42, refused comment.

Sen Murray (State Sen prez) on Dec 19--shortly before the probation violation--note I said parole in last post, I meant probation)

Senate President Therese Murray took direct aim at state Sen. Anthony Galluccio yesterday after the repentant Cambridge Democrat pleaded guilty in a hit-and-run crash and was sentenced to six months of home confinement during which he can’t touch a drop of booze.

Galluccio, 42, said he is relinquishing his committee appointments and chairmanship as Murray requested, but she let it be known his political future is on thin ice.

“He now must consider whether he can continue to serve his constituents and the commonwealth given the restrictions of his sentence,” said Murray, adding she will consult her Senate colleagues about a next step.
