“I speak up for what I think is right,” Austin told CoastAlaska.
But the judge did find him guilty for not filling out the required paperwork before making his comments in a public forum: free speech is not a defense in these types of cases, she ruled.
“Mr. Austin’s constitutional rights were not violated by the requirement he provide the [regulators] concurrent copies of his Facebook postings, including his own re-submitted candidate posts,” administrative law judge Carmen Clark wrote in her 31-page decision.

When Becker College closes its doors in just a few months, the town of Leicester is going to lose its biggest employer and its most famous landmark. The College is located in the center of the city: The town common is the campus, and the campus is the town common.
For nearby businesses, the loss poses an immediate concern.
With its announcement last week, Becker joins a list of 20 other Massachusetts schools that shut down within the past five years, eight of which were mergers or acquisitions, according to the Department of Higher Education.
