We have been asked by the press whether the criminal charges against Assemblyman Joseph Errigo involve the proposed Whole Foods Plaza Project in Brighton, given that an Assembly Bill involving “zoning incentives” was allegedly introduced by him in late March. We do not know whether the charges are related to this Project, or whether the proposed Assembly Bill would help or hurt the Project. Neither Brighton Grassroots nor Howie Jacobson had anything to do with the charges against Assemblyman Errigo. We ask that the U.S. Attorney’s Office provide more details in the coming days.
