Suffolk Superior Court Issues Injunction for John P. Horan
Jul 26, 2005 --
Last month, the Suffolk Superior Court issued an injunction on behalf of
John P. Horan, President of OPEIU Local 600 in Boston, in his bid to run
for office as a Board member of the MBTA Credit Union. The Credit Union
had declared Horan ineligible to run for office because the Board claimed
that they were going to be reviewing charges of misconduct against Horan
after the election and that the Board had the authority to determine
elegibility to run for office. Horan's attorney, Howard Lenow, brought
the action under the simple theory that the Board's by-laws did not grant
such authority to the Board and that the Board was obligated to place
Horan's name on the ballot. The Court granted the injunction and the
Board's ex-parte appeal to the Appeals Court was denied. Horan went on to
win a seat to the Board.
