Report: Romney Painters Now Under Investigation

BOSTON (WBZ) ― A Peabody company that painted Mitt Romney's Belmont mansion is reportedly under investigation.

According to the Boston Globe, state authorities are looking into whether Olympic Painting and Roofing dodged labor laws and relied on subcontractors that exploited workers, including illegal immigrants.
 
The paper reports Romney hired the company in August and the work was completed in October.


Olympic President George Vasiliades told the Globe his company did not employ illegal immigrants at Romney's house or anywhere else.

Earlier this week, Romney fired a landscaping company that had worked on his property after it was found for a second time to be employing illegal immigrants.
