Riddle (no.2)
I just love riddles, here is another one based on a true story:**************************************************************************
It was a couple of years ago,
there was no place he needed to go
he just got a pay raise and decided to buy a toy
one he did not need but intended to enjoy
a motorcycle seemed to be the right choice
he liked the looks and also the noise
he called his friend and wanted to meet
told him that he had only one seat
the perfect day to take a ride
the two showed their playful side
his friend in the car in front pushed the brakes
just for fun to see how much he could take
it went well and his friend increased the stakes
inexperienced he pushed again his brakes
still undecided who ends up being the fool
they just passed Holland Elementary School
as his friend pushed the brakes again going really fast
he could not help he was to close and crashed
the brand new motorcycle in shambles and his collarbone broken
an ambulance was called... and his friend, was he woken?
************************************************************************** What are the names of the two individuals?
As usual, who ever posts the first comment with the right answer will be treated to a pizza at Enrico’s in Sturbridge at my expense!!
Town officials are not allowed to participate, that would be too easy.....

MA General LAW. Ch268A Sec 23 ETHICS
CHAPTER 268A. CONDUCT OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES
Chapter 268A: Section 23. Supplemental provisions; standards of conduct
Section 23. (a) In addition to the other provisions of this chapter, and in supplement thereto, standards of conduct, as hereinafter set forth, are hereby established for all state, county, and municipal employees.
(b) No current officer or employee of a state, county or municipal agency shall knowingly, or with reason to know:
(1) accept other employment involving compensation of substantial value, the responsibilities of which are inherently incompatible with the responsibilities of his public office;
(2) use or attempt to use his official position to secure for himself or others unwarranted privileges or exemptions which are of substantial value and which are not properly available to similarly situated individuals;
(3) act in a manner which would cause a reasonable person, having knowledge of the relevant circumstances, to conclude that any person can improperly influence or unduly enjoy his favor in the performance of his official duties, or that he is likely to act or fail to act as a result of kinship, rank, position or undue influence of any party or person. It shall be unreasonable to so conclude if such officer or employee has disclosed in writing to his appointing authority or, if no appointing authority exists, discloses in a manner which is public in nature, the facts which would otherwise lead to such a conclusion.
(c) No current or former officer or employee of a state, county or municipal agency shall knowingly, or with reason to know:
(1) accept employment or engage in any business or professional activity which will require him to disclose confidential information which he has gained by reason of his official position or authority;
(2) improperly disclose materials or data within the exemptions to the definition of public records as defined by section seven of chapter four, and were acquired by him in the course of his official duties nor use such information to further his personal interest.
(d) Any activity specifically exempted from any of the prohibitions in any other section of this chapter shall also be exempt from the provisions of this section. The state ethics commission, established by chapter two hundred and sixty-eight B, shall not enforce the provisions of this section with respect to any such exempted activity.
(e) Where a current employee is found to have violated the provisions of this section, appropriate administrative action as is warranted may also be taken by the appropriate constitutional officer, by the head of a state, county or municipal agency. Nothing in this section shall preclude any such constitutional officer or head of such agency from establishing and enforcing additional standards of conduct.
(f) Upon qualification for office following an appointment or election to a municipal agency, such appointed or elected person shall be furnished by the city or town clerk with a copy of this section. Each such person shall sign a written acknowledgement that he has been provided with such copy.

too funny, you are right, selectman Earl Johnson was the one who was driving the car, our Chief of Police Kevin Gleason was the one who crashed. Gleason ended up with a broken collarbone and was hospitalized. Gleason failed to issue a citation and fine Earl Johnson for reckless driving and causing physical harm. Of course you don't do that, you don't fine one of your buddies who is just horsing around with you.
Too funny, please contact me so we can have pizza at Enrico's and laugh about the joker Gleason and stooge Johnson. I will keep your identity confidential as I know that your life would be changed for ever if these individuals found out who you are. They just like to have fun among themselves.
