Patrick nominates two to state parole board
October 24, 2007
BOSTON --Gov. Deval Patrick has appointed a behavioral scientist to the state parole board and re-nominated the current chairwoman to remain on the board.
Leticia Munoz of Florence is a behavioral scientist and she has worked as the clinical director of the Brightside School Street Counseling Institute in Springfield since 2001.
Maureen Walsh of Deerfield has led the Parole Board since 2003, and she serves on the Gov.'s Anti-Crime Council.
Patrick has asked the Gov.'s Council to promptly review and confirm their nominations.
Democratic State Representative Ruth Balser of Newton says the nomination of a clinical psychologist brings much needed professional diversity to the Parole Board.
Secretary of Public Safety and Security Kevin Burke praised Walsh's re-nomination, saying she has credibility with law enforcement and criminal justice professionals.
