City Councilor Chuck Turner has been set free on $50,000 bond after facing charges in a Worcester federal court today alleging he accepted a $1,000 cash bribe to help secure a liquor license for a Roxbury nightclub.
Turner had no questions as federal Magistrate Judge Timothy Hillman presided over the proceedings before a packed court of supporters of the Roxbury politician.
"We love you. Yes we do," shouted one supporter at the close of the brief session.
Turners arrest is in connection with the expanding federal case against disgraced state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson, who was indicted this week on charges that she accepted $23,500 in cash bribes to help the Dejavu club secure the same liquor license, which was to be located in Turner and Wilkersons districts.
I guess we have to make that 91% now!
From what I hear he actually belongs to Green party, but regardless, he is no Republican./
Too bad this is happening just now..........it will fade away under the Obama Administration, imho.

>>Chuck Turner, incumbent Boston City Councillor and Green-Rainbow Party member, won 75% of the vote in the District 7 preliminary election held September 25. He received 1,476 of 1,949 votes cast.
Given what he’s accepting, he really does belong to the Green party. GREENbacks!
He’s the guy who called a press conference to allege our troops were raping women in Iraq and claimed he had proof. Turned out all he had were stills from an Eastern European porn site with people dressed up in fatigues.
We in Massachusetts are trying to figure out if he is stuffing it in his man bra?
It’s Mass—what did you expect?
Massachusetts is the role model for what the rest of the country will be when Obama swears in. Mass is run by democrats.
We are so screwed!
Chuck Turner
I think the dirty rotten bastard is lying.
I’ve asked folks from around the world what they think of politicians from where they come from.
Every person I’ve asked from: Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Cuba, France, Germany, Rumania, Russia, India,Pakistan,Japan,Korea, Etc. Etc. all say they ALL ARE CROOKS.
90% aren’t crooks. They all are crooks.
