This is a strange story in The Globe. The headline is "Amorello failed at Big Dig, letter says." There's nothing about a letter in the article. I read it twice. I even searched for the word 'letter' or the word 'failed'. (Here's the letter, in another story. Maybe it's that I'm reading the online version that it seems so confusing.)

Anyway, the original article is a story about legal wrangling and the appalling use of public funds to provide high-priced legal assistance to Amorello who's fighting to keep his job in the face of universal calls for him to quit. Here's the Amorello money quote:

...I know my track record here has been excellent in bringing us to where we are today.

There you go, right from the horse's mouth. Who needs a letter?
