On Wednesday night, Starrett’s celebration of the Bruins’ victory was ruined by a 1stCircuit Court of Appeals ruling for FERC, though the judge wrote that he did so “with great reluctance,” and only because the law “requires the result reached here, not that the result makes economic or realistic sense.”
“You can’t continue to fund federal agencies that are not spending money wisely.” Starrett told Daley. “With all due respect, actions speak louder than words.”
Daley said he couldn’t get into detail about the individual case which he said sounded like the “typical sort of bureaucratic stuff that’s hard to defend. Sometimes you can’t defend the indefensible.” The chief of staff said he would look into the case to “see if there is any way to bring some reason into it.”
