This press release reports that Congressman Moakley has scheduled a meeting with the chairman of the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Courts, Robert Kastenmeier (D-Wisconsin), “regarding the scope of powers of a Federal Judge, with particular emphasis on a Judge’s powers over elected officials.” The meeting “is a direct result” of Judge Garrity’s receivership orders for South Boston High School. The press release further describes Moakley’s opposition to the receivership orders.
