Tommy Taxes to be disbarred

And this is making Howie Carr giddy like a little school girl.

The state Board of Bar Overseers has recommended that former House Speaker and WRKO radio host Thomas M. Finneran be disbarred, a decision that could prevent him from ever practicing law again in Massachusetts.

Only one member of the 12-person board, which deliberated Monday night, cast a dissenting vote. Eight of the members are lawyers.

Finneran’s license to practice law was suspended in 2007 after he pleaded guilty to giving false testimony in a federal lawsuit over his role in a 2002 legislative redistricting plan that diminished minority clout. Finneran was convicted of obstruction of justice.
