LYNN — The state appeals court upheld the conviction of a Lynn woman convicted of starving her miniature dachshund to death.

Tasha Walker, 36, was convicted of one count of animal cruelty in Lynn District Court in 2014. Judge Cathleen Campbell sentenced her to two and a half years in the House of Correction, suspended for five years, 500 hours of community service and was ordered not to own pets or animals. In a decision released this week, the appeals court upheld that decision.

At Waller’s trial in 2013, several veterinarians testified that her dog died due to severe malnutrition.

On appeal, Waller argued that the animal cruelty statute was void because the term “animal” was constitutionally vague, according to a release from the Essex County District Attorney’s office. The court rejected the claim, stating it had no trouble concluding that dogs are animals as used in the animal cruelty statute. The defendant also argued that it was improper for the veterinarians in the original case to testify to their opinions on how the miniature dachshund, Arthur, had died since they had not previously examined him.

The court agreed with the prosecution’s opinion that the opinions were based on the vets observation of the dog’s body, including observations made during a necropsy, that eliminated other possible causes of death, according to the district attorney’s office.

Jay Ash

By Thomas Grillo

LYNN — Jay Ash, the state Secretary of Housing and Economic Development and a member of the Lynn Economic Advancement Team, has dropped out of the race to become the next Cambridge City Manager.

Ash, 54, one of three candidates for the post, was expected to find out Thursday who was selected for the $330,000 job at a City Council meeting.

In addition to Ash, the other two finalists for the position include Louis DePasquale, Cambridge’s assistant city manager for fiscal affairs and Paul Fetherston, the assistant city manager in Asheville, North Carolina.

Staying on in the Baker administration is good news for Lynn. As a member of the LEAD team, Ash, who spent years working on Chelsea’s rebirth as city manager, will remain a key part of the group whose mission is to revitalize Lynn. The team also includes U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack, James Cowdell, executive director of the Economic Development and Industrial Corp., Environmental Secretary Matthew Beaton, Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy and others who can cut through the bureaucracy and make things happen.

Ash could not be reached for comment, but in a statement said “Months ago, I was asked to get involved in Cambridge’s search. for a new city manager. As a former municipal leader, the opportunity was intriguing, and the way to explore the opportunity was to apply. I’m glad I did so. I met a lot of great people, and enjoyed the opportunity to get to know the community better. More importantly, I learned a lot about what’s important to me, professionally and personally. I now believe that the opportunity to serve as Cambridge’s next city manager is not the right fit for me. I have chosen to withdraw my name from further consideration.

“In my heart, I believe that being part of the Baker Administration is more important to me than being part of any other administration. I remain committed to the mission of this administration: Growing jobs, helping communities realize their economic development priorities, connecting citizens to new economic opportunities, and building prosperity across Massachusetts.”
