There have been some interesting developments on the docket as to the shocking ongoing case between former CCC Chair Shannon OāBrien and State Treasurer Deborah Goldberg.
To begin, we now know the names of the people who are requesting access to currently-secret documents in the case (that could reveal a potential plot by CCC staff to ātake outā OāBrien).
The names of the people who filed pubic documents seeking that access are: Scott Johnson, William J. Crean Jr., Barbara Cichocki (East Bridgewater), John Danforth, David H. OāReilly (Marshfield).
OāBrien is suing Goldberg over what OāBrien alleges was a pretextual campaign to suspend, and eventually fire, the former CCC chair as a form of retaliation for OāBrien, herself, uncovering serious allegations of misconduct within the CCC (in particular as to OāBrien discovering a coverup of abuse allegations raised against a high-ranking former CCC staffer by no less than four female employees within the agency).
In turn, Goldberg attempted to hide the administrative record related to that decision to fire OāBrien and, in turn, OāBrien objected to that request.
OāBrien, now, has filed notice with the court that she intends to file her own administrative record (as predicted).

As a result, sometime in the coming months (probably April), the Judge in the case (Hon. Robert B. Gordan, specially assigned to the matter) will then make a ruling as to what version of the record is made public (and, in turn, what, if any, sections of the record will be redacted from public view).
Previously, Judge Gordan expressed extreme skepticism at the arguments put forth by Goldbergās lawyers (Goldberg is represented in the case by the state Attorney Generalās office via Assistant AG Hitt) as to keeping this record secret.
However, the Judge did permit a few weeks for requests to be submitted to the court for the purposes of third parties raising their own objections to public disclosure of these records.
In turn, the stateās CCC, itself, filed a request for permission to view the redacted documents (back in late February). As is becoming a pattern in the case, however, the CCC was chastised by Judge Gordan for failing to follow proper procedure when submitting their request to the court to view the redacted document (in particular as to making a simple phone call to OāBrienās counsel to see if OāBrien wanted to object, or say anything to the court, about the CCCās request).

Eventually, a few days later, OāBrien did respond to that request from the CCC. While OāBrien did not object to the CCC viewing the unredacted documents, OāBrien did not that the CCCās request was clearly an attempt to delay the courtās consideration of the motion to make these documents public.

In turn, when Judge Gordan did eventually approve the CCCās request, the Judge did so with a reminder to all parties that the courtās existing scheduling order as to consideration of the motion to make the unredacted administrative record (be it from OāBrien or Goldberg or some combination of the two) remains firm.
and thereās plenty more if you have the energy for it
