WORCESTER (MA)
Worcester Magazine
By Scott Zoback
We all heard this week that a new wild-card candidate had pulled papers to run for District Attorney. Lawyer Dan Shea is best known around here for his work on the clergy abuse scandal and his defense of conte2006.com proprietor Mary Jean, but is still only reachable on his Texas-area cell phone. That’s changing, Shea says. He tells us he signed a contract and a mortgage for a new place in town on Tuesday — not even a full day after pulling papers to run. “I was coming back [to Worcester] anyway,” says Shea. “I won’t only be a politician, I’ll be a taxpayer, and I’ll be a real, live, Worcester person.”
