Rollins And Baker At Odds Over Criminal Justice Reform Efforts

The very public spat over criminal justice reform has suddenly gone quiet.

Gov. Charlie Baker and Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins were scheduled to meet today after a weekend of contentious remarks over Rollins' criminal justice reform efforts. Now both of their offices are refusing to comment on the spat or even if they met today.

Last week, the governor's public safety secretary, Thomas Turco, took aim at Rollins' policies that discourage prosecuting for some criminal offenses. Turco said her policies will substantially restrict government's ability to protect victims.
