Massachusetts governor race - Do we really have any good choices

Nobody Looking Good in This One

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, saddled with a weak economy and an anti-incumbent mood in the electorate, should be smiling after a week that saw his two rivals go after other with a gusto that ought to cheer anyone not in the crossfire.

So did Gov Deval Patrick raised taxes 8 time, Did property taxes go up, and did the state lose jobs?  Most likely Yes but remember the time we are in and what we have just been thru.  Time we hard on every one in the state of Massachusetts.  And we want the servers need in our town and city's right?  Were does the money come from?

Republican Charlie Baker is the former CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. He has served as state secretary of Health and Human Services and secretary of Administration and Finance.

Charlie Baker might claim that he was only "one of about 50 people" involved in the Big Dig, but, as Brian McGrory from the Boston Globe noted, Baker was “state secretary of Administration and Finance, the most prominent fiscal adviser to the governor” and “the state’s chief budget writer” at the time of the Big Dig.  [Boston Globe, 3/3/10]  

Charlie Baker might claim that his "approval meant nothing", but the fact is that Massachusetts taxpayers are STILL paying off the cost of the Big Dig to this very day.  [Boston Globe, 3/3/10]  


Do we all want this type of person running our state???

If you want to say goodbye to jobs in Massachusetts, say hello to Charlie Baker.  While he claims he’ll improve the job situation in Massachusetts, the truth is that Baker favors tax loopholes that encourage corporations to ship jobs overseas. [ATR, 8/12/10; USA Today, 3/21/08]

So the question is this do we want more of the same Gov or do we want to change and see that he is or might follow in Gov Patrick foot steps for the next four years!!
