Governor Protects his Staff

"As he prepares to leave office, Governor Deval Patrick is quietly transferring 500 of his managers into the state public employee union, a move that will qualify them for a series of 3 percent raises and insulate them from firing when the next governor takes over."


Hmmm. I wonder if other leaders can learn from this.

Vote The Bums Out!
No wonder people are cynical about politics, don't pay much attention or don't bother to vote ( even if they know what is going on). Local, state, national and international politics are in serious trouble. The POLS "take care of their own". Time for taxpayers to take care of themselves because as this example shows once again you cannot trust a politician!

Re: Breaking News

I don't know which is worse, this, or Presidential Pardons. Now that's something to think about. Obama could potentially free Whitey.

By the way, can State Governors pardon criminals in state jails?

Re: Breaking News

Nobody cares about any of this because the idiots of this state will still vote for Brodeur, Lewis and Coakley and think that their vote will change things! Can you believe the fools in this state?

There isn't one.

Re: Breaking News

That's what I thought. So far it's just 'talk' and conjecture, right?

I guess I should come clean- I know there is no override on the November ballot, but judging from the posts on these message boards, you would think the vote was being held tomorrow!! I guess the sarcasm did not come through!!!

Re: Breaking News

In order to understand the concept of Sarcasm, one first must have a sense of hummer.

Many of the folks on the board don't.

Re: Breaking News

I haven't had a sense of hummer, or any other kind of hummer, for years.

Re: Breaking News

was going to comment, but it's the family hour!

Re: Breaking News

D_amn spell check. It should be able to check what I meant to say.

Re: Breaking News

What? You feed us a perfect straight man line, and then tell us it was an accident? Uh-uh. No way.

Re: Breaking News

Sorry, but like that famous president Thomas Jefferson once said, "I can not tell a lie".
