From Projo.com:
A war of words has erupted between the chairman of the state Democratic Party and Chris Little, the Moderate Party candidate for attorney general, over Little’s environmental record as a lawyer.
Edwin R. Pacheco, the party chairman, accused Little, a lawyer in private practice, of having a long history of “defending corporate polluters that work against environmental protection.” Little, in a news release, rebutted Pacheco’s claims, saying the allegations are “completely untrue.”
Pacheco said that, in the mid-1980s, Little and his law firm defended the Massachusetts towns of Norfolk and Walpole against the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s charges that the towns violated water-pollution laws.
