WASHINGTON, DC (ENS) — --> Shrugging off the objections of his department head, Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney used approximately $45,000 in the state's parks and conservation money to stage a pre-Super Bowl send-off rally for the New England Patriots football team on January 30.
Romney then fired the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) chief Katherine Abbott who objected to spending that much money on the Patriots' send-off, as well as her top deputy.
On February 4, without warning, Romney terminated Abbott. On February 7, the number two official at DCR, Pam DiBona, was also forced to resign.
