THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 27, 2025 Page 15 LESSON| FROM PAGE 1 may have kept him on as President. Once again, O’Malley doubled down, telling lie after lie to the Council and the public. I am thankful to the City Solicitors office who was in attendance and able to correct on the spot several flat out lies O’Malley told as part of his cover up for his actions. I believe it was his reaction on the 17th that truly resulted in people who had been supporters throwing in the towel and voting for new leadership to get the Council on track. It is well known that O’Malley was passed over multiple times by the Council for president over concerns about his ability to lead and be trusted. Sadly, those concerns were proven to be valid. Not surprisingly, O’Malley’s most ardent defender was Councilor Karen Colon Hayes, who unsurprisingly dusted off her favorite ‘do as I say not as I do’ term in defending O’Malley: Transparency. So, let’s try to understand this. O’Malley files a lawsuit without authorization, behind the backs of the entire Council, and that represents a lesson in transparency? Then here comes Karen Colon Hayes, the only City Councilor in Malden history to admit to a state ethics violation and pay a huge fine for hiring her own daughters secretly at inflated rates of pay, violating all state and city regulations, preaching transparency. You can’t make this stuff up. Life teaches us lessons, and how we react to them tells the world who we are. O’Malley has been taught a valuable one: Actions have consequences. How he reacts will tell the voters of Malden who he is.
