Ethics charge dropped for reti
Charles B. Lincoln, a retired Brockton police lieutenant who became a "poster child" for alleged pension abuse after collecting $140,000 annually from two public jobs, has had conflict-of-interest charges against him dropped by the State Ethics Commission.
The commission ruled that calling in sick, which Lincoln did repeatedly in order to work two jobs, did not violate conflict-of-interest laws.

Police delay plea in Menezes c
The court case against the Metropolitan Police over the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes has been adjourned as police needed more time to prepare.
The case was brought by the Independent Police Complaints Commission and will resume on 19 September.
The Office of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner had been charged with health and safety breaches over the shooting on 22 July, 2005.
Mr Menezes was shot seven times after he was mistaken for a suicide bomber.
The Crown Prosecution Service last month said there was insufficient evidence to charge individual officers.
The charges against the Met as an organisation are being sought under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
It was accused of breaching its duties owed to non-employees over the shooting at Stockwell Tube station on July 22 2005.
Met gets more time
Following the short hearing at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday, the force was given five more weeks to consider the evidence against it.
Mark Scoggins, the solicitor advocate, said the Met needed more time before it could enter a plea.
He said: "We have moved with all due speed in the last four weeks, but we need further time to arrive at our destination and a considered position on the plea."
Speaking outside the court, Commander Simon Foy, said: "This is our first appearance in this case and we have asked for more time to consider the evidence and the allegation.
"The court has given us this time and we will go away and do just that."
