Media Contact for Former Roxbury Community College Director of Public Safety Oscar Walker Pays Civil Penalty for Violating Financial Disclosure Law
Gerry Tuoti, Public Information Officer
Boston, MA — The State Ethics Commission voted on June 20 to allow a joint motion to dismiss adjudicatory proceedings against former Roxbury Community College Director of Public Safety Oscar Walker after he paid a $100 civil penalty for failing to file a 2017 Statement of Financial Interests (SFI) on time.
The Commission’s Enforcement Division filed an Order to Show Cause on December 17, 2018 alleging that Walker violated the Financial Disclosure Law, which requires elected state and county officials, candidates for state office, and state and county employees in designated major policymaking positions to annually disclose their financial interests and private business associations by filing an SFI with the State Ethics Commission. Because he worked for more than 30 days in 2017 in a designated major policymaking position, Walker was required to file an SFI for that year.
After the Enforcement Division issued the Order to Show Cause, which initiated adjudicatory proceedings, Walker filed his 2017 SFI. In allowing the joint motion to dismiss, the Commission acknowledged Walker’s payment of the $100 civil penalty and dismissed the adjudicatory proceedings.
