The Boston Herald has fired a columnist who signed a contract worth up to $10,000 to help Gov. Mitt Romney’s administration promote its environmental policies.
Herald Publisher Patrick Purcell initially said the paper would continue Charles Chieppo’s weekly column, a day after he began working for the governor’s Executive Office of Environmental Affairs. The contract calls for him to help officials write op-ed pieces and internal documents.
A few hours later, however, Purcell released a second statement that read, “Upon further review, the Boston Herald has decided to sever our relationship with Charles Chieppo.”
