'A working relationship'
An ex-legislator using the power of the budget as leverage against an independent agency? Perish the thought! ... Mayor Menino is spending big bucks to upgrade City Hall. But he's plowing ahead on building a new Government Center on the waterfront. Plans for the waterfront have now gone from: 1.) Building a new exciting Back Bay to 2.) Building a new quasi-drab Kendall Square to 3.) Building a new Government Center to replace an old Government Center that just about everyone agrees was a disaster from the start. So I guess you can say government is now going for a twofer: Wrecking Scollay Square and wrecking the future waterfront. Thanks, mayor! ... New suggested name for Fan Pier: Fortress Pier. ... To bring this post full-circle back to ex-legislators: They're at the state college trough. ... Not a good day for government. ...
Update -- Carpundit caught this one: $281,845 last year for a state trooper lieutenant, $122,000 of it in overtime. ... Repeat: Not a good day for government. ...
