From the Boston Herald:

Jim McKenna, Republican candidate for attorney general, on Wednesday blasted the news that incumbent Democrat Martha Coakley helped broker a deal to sell six Caritas Christi hospitals to a private equity firm for $495 million.

Citing political contributions she received from hospital executives, McKenna called Coakley the “Queen of Political Payback.”

“She has taken over 34,000 dollars from the executives of Caritas Christi and their family members. As the Commonwealth’s Chief Law Enforcement Officer, she should possess the highest ethics and maintain impartiality and objectivity,” McKenna said in an afternoon statement. “Just today, even the Boston Globe called on Martha Coakley to slow down this deal and demand more oversight. Instead of recusing herself from this matter, like I called on her to do, she has recommended the approval of the sale of Caritas not for the consumer, but with her political donors in mind.”
