What I'm afraid of is a day where decent candidates like Sean Bielat and Charlie Baker choose not to run for office in Massachusetts. Why bother? The Ted Kennedy's and Barney Frank's of the world will run unopposed every year and the election will be nothing more than a formality and a chance to race sail boats.
I'm disheartened that we reward people like Barney Frank, who bark arrogant acceptance speeches at us
and Justify the snotty writers at the Herald by MENTIONING them in prime time...
The voters rolled over at an opportunity to roll back the sales tax. The government will sniff out this sure sign of weakness and use it to press Upwards - seven, eight, nine percent? Why not?
They don't want us to Lower it - they must want to Raise it!
I'm preparing myself for Double Digits by the end of the Patrick Administration.
At least Deval Patrick is buddy-buddy with Barack Obama. Sure, he's failed to capitalize on that relationship, but only in terms of the state of Massachusetts. Thus far. Personally, I'm sure he's fine.
Personally, I felt useless and defeated when I saw the numbers last night.
By a thread, the citizens voted to repeal one of the two taxes on alcohol. Which is nice. If the government actually does it.
We're considering the purchase of a home and today I feel like browsing Southern New Hampshire.
