DeMaria has run Everett in iron-fisted fashion since 2007. Basically, what Carlo wants, he gets. His signature achievement, of course, is bringing in the Encore casino — the biggest thing to happen to the old industrial town on the Mystic River in many years.

The Everett City Council unanimously voted no confidence in Mayor Carlo DeMaria after a Massachusetts Inspector General report found that the city had overpaid him $180,000 and leveled claims of impropriety by DeMaria and his administration regarding the payments.

Mayor says he won’t pay back the $180,000 until he receives “due process.” The post Everett City Council votes no confidence in mayor amid bonus scandal appeared first on Boston.com.
