New readers to this site (and there have been quite a few these days) may see the posts below as the sum total of evidence offered to support claims of Brookline cronyism.

Oh no old darlings. The sine qua non of Brookline cronyism is On Brookline’s two part series on the demotion of Dennis DeWitt as vice-chair of Brookline’s Preservation Commission.

This story has everything: intrigue, deception, double-dealing and unearthed documents that show Brookline’s chief selectman - Robert L. Allen, Jr. - is corporate attorney to a controversial residential development that could face the wrecking ball due to violations of Brookline’s zoning by-law. And it may be that only the preservation commission can prevent that from happening.
