BPD Commissioner Dennis White
Boston Police Commissioner Dennis White filed a lawsuit last Friday saying that Acting Mayor Kim Janey is illegally trying to fire him for decades-old domestic violence allegations. The suit, filed in Suffolk Superior Court, came as the city released the results of an outside investigation into charges levied by White’s ex-wife 22 years ago. The inquiry also uncovered a second domestic violence incident involving White, a physical altercation with a 19-year-old woman in 1993.
In court documents, White alleged that Janey is trying to unlawfully remove him from his position. He says he was informed in a telephone call at 10 a.m. that day that he was being terminated, just six hours before Janey briefed the media.

His name barely appears in the document, but the independent report into former mayor Martin J. Walshâs troubled appointment of the cityâs police commissioner raises numerous unanswered questions about the choice made in the waning days of Walshâs City Hall tenure and its aftermath.
The new revelations from an investigation Walsh ordered up are surfacing as he settles into his role as US labor secretary in President Bidenâs Cabinet.
Austin 360
Like all good drinking stories, this one involves a traveling circus, a champion tennis player and the capital of Texas.
Well. Maybe all tales don t have those things, but they should.
Drinkers hip to the whiskey world might have heard of Sweetens Cove, the Tennessee bourbon brand named after a golf course near Chattanooga and Nashville. It’s booze with a big-name backer in Peyton Manning, but it’s also one with deep Austin ties. The other owners include tennis hall-of-famer Andy Roddick, Tiff’s Treats co-founder Leon Chen, Kendra Scott CEO Tom Nolan, Silicon Labs chairman Nav Sooch and real estate developer Mark Rivers Austinites all. (Nashville musician Drew Holcomb also is on board.) And trailblazing distiller Marianne Eaves blended the company’s second release while living in a trailer in Buda and working out of Austin proper.
