Greg Bialecki
Greg Bialecki (born 1960-61)[1] has been the Massachusetts Secretary of Housing and Economic Development since he was appointed by Governor Deval Patrick in 2009. Prior to serving as secretary, Bialecki was Undersecretary of Business Development and spent twenty years as a real estate and environmental attorney at the law firms Hill & Barlow and DLA Piper. Bialecki attended Harvard University for both his undergraduate studies and law school. In 2009 Bialecki was tapped to head up the Governor's efforts to bring controversial casino gambling to Massachusetts.[2] The Boston Globe reported in 2011 that Bialecki may have violated state ethics laws by purchasing stock in two casinos during the time at which he was helping to craft legislation that would benefit those companies. Bialecki sold the stocks at a 30 percent profit only after being contacted by the Globe. [3]
