‘GOP candidates attack hub’: Hah! Called it. The GOP is now trying to stir up suburban resentment toward the city. ... See point ‘C.)’ from post the other week. ... Of course it’s not fair. But it’s politically logical. Putting Sal in as speaker only reinforced the image of the old-boy/city-Dem network running the Statehouse. ...
Of course Mitt is doing his best to reinforce the image that once elected GOP governors don’t really want to govern. ...
Anything but reform!: They know they’re feeling heat for escalating costs. So what does the Mass Turnpike and MBTA do? They ask the Trav for tax breaks to help ease the financial burden on commuters. ... We can't control costs! Help! ... Might as well take tax breaks when you can get ‘em, though it’s almost certain lawmakers will make up the difference by shifting costs to other tax and fee payers, somewhere, somehow. ... There's just no room for cost savings. None. Zero. Help us, Trav!
