Baker: DCR deputy who used sirens showed 'terrible judgement'

Gov. Charlie Baker said Monday he was "appalled" by the actions of a former top state parks official, confirming that video showed him driving with lights and sirens on.

Speaking to reporters outside an event at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, Baker said that Matt Sisk, the former deputy commissioner of the Department of Conservation and Recreation "exhibited terrible judgment."

"I've known Matt Sisk a long time and was appalled by what he did. I certainly don't think you'll see anybody doing anything like that again," Baker told reporters.

Sisk resigned Friday, effective immediately. He and DCR Commissioner Leo Roy were suspended without pay for a week in early September after revelations that the two agency heads used state resources to plan and host a private party at a condo owned by Ron Kaufman, the state's Republican national committeeman.
