1936

Joseph J. C. DiCarlo (March 21, 1936 – October 22, 2020) was an American politician who served in both houses of the Massachusetts General Court.

DiCarlo was born on March 21, 1936, in Somerville, Massachusetts.

He grew up in Revere, Massachusetts, and graduated from Immaculate Conception High School, Boston College, and Boston University.

Prior to entering politics, DiCarlo was a junior high school history teacher in Revere.

1964

During his first term he was named chairman of the education committee.

In 1968 DiCarlo challenged incumbent State Senator Harry Della Russo in the 1st Suffolk District (later known as the Suffolk, Essex, and Middlesex District), which consisted of Revere, Winthrop, Saugus, and Everett.

He upset Della Russo in the Democratic primary and went on to win the general election.

1970

At the 1970 state Democratic Convention, DiCarlo was considered a possible compromise candidate for Lieutenant Governor if the convention was deadlocked.

However, there was no deadlock and the nomination was won by Michael Dukakis.

1971

From 1971 to 1973 DiCarlo was the Assistant Majority Leader.

In this role he gained a reputation as being fiercely loyal to Senate President Kevin B. Harrington.

1973

In 1973 Harrington promoted DiCarlo to Senate Majority Leader, which made him the second ranking person in the Senate.

DiCarlo was seen as Harrington's protégée and eventual successor.

1976

On August 13, 1976, a grand jury indicted DiCarlo and fellow Senator Ronald C. Mackenzie on charges that they extorted $40,000 from a consulting company.

According to the indictment, DiCarlo and Mackenzie threatened McKee-Berger-Mansueto, Inc. (MBM), the consulting company supervising construction of the University of Massachusetts Boston campus at Columbia Point, with an unfavorable report from the legislative committee investigating their contract unless they were paid.

DiCarlo and Mackenzie were charged with violating the Hobbs Act, which forbids extortion by public officials, and the Travel Act, which forbids crossing state lines for the purpose of extortion.
