Because it sounds like the folks who run the Greenway could use one.

Let's review here, folks
The woman in question is being criticized for (legally) stealing with both hands from the quasi-public trough. And then coming back with a handcart to steal the trough.
Her defense? She's an excellent administrator who runs the Greenway so effectively that she deserves almost a quarter of a million dollars a year.
And for that kind of compensation, you get a bimbo who mistakes a hostile Herald reporter for her own PR flak, and can't figure out how to use the "reply" and "cc" functionality of her email client.
Just imagine how good she'd be for $500K/year. For that kind of dough she could probably master even that gnarly old "bcc" thingy.
Richard Davey
Seems to me that Richard Davey is the only honest public service employee in Boston. I don't know if he will do more good in his current role or in public office- but he needs to keep up the good work.
he's the only one calling for her head
The Boston political establishment is just falling over itself to not say anything negative, and you really wonder why. Who has she been giving blowjobs to?
Here's a better article with the email contents, and the laundry list of financial issues:

Deval's really taking hits here. First that housing agency, and now this. How many other agencies are serving as cash cows for Deval's lackeys?
Don't forget the DCR lease scandal
As reported in Commonwealth Mag and on NPR:

Huh?
$225K a year to "run" a 15 acre park? I should have made a different career choice.

A hilarious Herald hit piece
Well worth reading. I particularly enjoyed the tidbit about the Conservancy spending more money on fundraising than they brought in in donations.
Those must have been some awesome parties! :)
They're not wrong though
But they do fail to mention the problem is the result of CEO compensation in the private market.
Not sure there's a lot of competition for her services.
I doubt there's a lot of competition in the private sector for the former director of the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute. Unless they are looking for someone connected to Massachusetts state politics to peddle influence.
Let's face it.. she most likely got this job in the same way many other directors of semi-public agencies do... donating and/or funneling money from other people to political parties. A cush job and a relatively high salary is usually the reward for those sorts of things.
Apologies Gentle Readers, but
Apologies Gentle Readers, but I can't help myself.
Did anyone notice the name of the PR consultant as reported in the Herald?

Nothing good ever comes from the Greenway
If its not one thing it's another. Nothing good ever comes from the Greenway. Today I walked by the stretch between Aquarium and Dewey Square. It is so grim and desolate. There is no reason for anyone to use it or walk along it. Don't blame the weather or the season because even now the Boston Common and Public Garden are bustling with activity, people walking through, sitting on benches,etc. Sure, for a few weeks in the summer a few nearby workers eat their lunch on the Greenway, a few local residents walk their dogs and a few tourists let their children run through that fountain thing that reeks of chlorine, but it's hardly a functioning "park". A median strip is a median strip.
