 * Symbol question.svg - the article does not explicitly state the hook fact with a citation ... assuming it is this line - "On February 11, Senator Joseph DiCarlo and Representatives Ralph Sirianni and William F. Hogan filed an order for the creation of a joint committee to investigate circumstance surrounding the awarding of the contract to MBM." cited to the Boston Globe (I will AGF on the validity on the offline source, but want to make sure that this is correct). It needs to explicitly state the hook fact, . Everything else looks good, I believe.  Go  Phightins  !  23:12, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The fact is stated in the "Senate Ethics Committee investigation" section: "As a result of the scandal, the Senate created a standing committee on ethics." --Hirolovesswords (talk) 23:51, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Not quite sure how I missed that . Sorry about that. Otherwise, I think we are good. Passing.  Go  Phightins  !  01:27, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
