Senator Dianne Wilkerson's statement

"I thank Attorney General Martha Coakley for her commitment to timely and fair resolution of this matter.

"When the former AG initially filed this matter in 2005, he raised questions about activity surrounding my political committee in 2001 and 2002. At that time I stated that these issues would prove to be matters of record keeping and accounting, and the stipulation of dismissal and agreement filed by the AG today affirms my assertions.

"I consider the matter now closed. My committee has worked to install several new practices and policies to ensure that these types of accounting errors will not be repeated.

"I am focused right now on representing my constituents by completing the important business of my district as we wind down the formal session, and in short order I will return to the district to begin campaigning full time."
