A federal judge today rejected a request to toss Felix Arroyo's wrongful-termination suit against the city for the way Marty Walsh fired him as chief of health and human services in 2017.
However, US District Court Judge Denise Casper did narrow his suit considerably, dismissing several of his claims. Read more.

The Herald reports a judge looking into the Suffolk County probate office found that while Felix Arroyo won a job for which he had no training, he was not helped by racist white workers who may have set out to sabotage him, especially after he dared to hire new employees who were not white.
In an election for an office few care about, Arroyo replaced Patty Campatelli, who, you may recall, was also suspended from the job.

The Herald reports Mayor Walsh confirms Arroyo - who ran against him for mayor in 2013 - is under investigation, but won't say for what.
His father, Felix Sr., is on leave as register of probate.
After the election, Walsh appointed Arroyo as his chief of health and human services - one of three mayoral competitors he named to cabinet-type positions.

The Globe reports. Suspended Suffolk County Probate register Felix Arroyo has said he was undercut by angry, racist underlings.

The Globe reports it got its hands on a copy of a report on the state of the Suffolk County Probate Registry, now under its second suspended elected register, and that the report essentially describes a giant cardboard box into which thousands of documents and checks are poured, never to emerge again, as lawyers and just plain folks spend hours in line to have their documents and checks taken and made to disappear.
The part of the report dealing with current Register Felix Arroyo Sr.'s allegations this is deliberate racially tinged sabotage by oldtime workers, however, was not released.

The Globe talks to probate lawyers who say the register's office under Felix Arroyo is a mess - but that that's no change from the way it was under predecessor Patty Campatelli. The state trial-court system, which relieved Arroyo of his duties - but with pay - says it's found "serious deficiencies" under him, but won't say what they are. Arroyo wants a public investigation, but won't release the trial-court letter detailing the charges against him.

The Globe reports the state court system has put Felix Arroyo, Sr. on leave as it investigates something about the way he's done his job after replacing Patty Campatelli, who was put on leave during an investigation into various infractions, including allegedly punching a subordinate.

Unofficial results from Boston, the 800-pound gorilla of Suffolk County politics, show acting Sheriff Steve Tompkins easily besting challenger Doug Bennett (and the other guy who didn't have as many signs), while one-time City Councilor Felix Arroyo holds a commanding lead in the race for Register of Probate over incumbent Patricia Campatelli (currently running third behind Arroyo and Martin Keogh).

A weary citizen in Maverick Square sighs:
I know our vote on the casino didn't matter but I thought the election for mayor was settled? Can we get these taken down?
Ed. note: Over the past few weeks, Citizens Connect has gotten a scattering of complaints about another candidate with green signs, but the city always marks the cases closed because the signs are on private property.
