Rumor has it that the Mayor of Boston, the one who received a $10,000 Charitable Contribution from a Wyoming owner of Suffolk Downs that seemed to buy the Mayor's undying loyalty, will convene a Coven to study the 'proposal.' [Senator Petrucelli's devotion only cost $6,000.]
Since the exalted Mayor refused to allow other parts of the City to participate, the public can be assured the the Coven will be slanted to ensure the Mayor's bought-and-paid-for position will be replicated.
Genuflect, please!
Massachusetts taxpayers can't even count on the Beacon Hill Bobble Heads who are controlled under a tight leash by House Speaker Racino DeLeo to protect their future interests.
Here's a small refresher course --
From: Massachusetts: Illegel Campaign Contributions
The donations went to an array of politicians, including Governor Deval Patrick; Mitt Romney when he was governor; US Senators John F. Kerry and Charles Schumer; several congressmen from Massachusetts; Boston Mayor Thomas Menino; and former state senator Dianne Wilkerson....

$500 MILLION? Senator Anthony Petrucelli Porks Us With the BILL!
In his study, Vitagliano suggested widening Route 1A from Curtis Street in East Boston to Mahoney Circle in Revere. This would include property taking and cost $40 million; widen Revere Beach Parkway in Revere, Everett and Medford at a cost of $90 million; perform a Copeland Circle grade separation in Revere that would cost $75 million; perform a Mahoney Circle grade separation in Revere that would cost $30 million; perform a Brown Circle grade separation in Revere that would cost $25 million; install a Route 1A to Route 16 connector on Railroad Ave. in Revere at a cost of $45 million; construct a haul road in East Boston at a cost of $20 million; build a Route 1A-Chelsea Street Bridge connector in East Boston that would cost $40 million; perform a Route 1A/Boardman Street grade separation in East Boston that would cost $10 million; build a Route 1A-Route 16 interchange that would cost $15 million; perform a Revere Street grade separation in Revere that would cost $10 million; improve traffic signalization along the Route 1A corridor at a cost of $5 million; and finally mitigation for traffic impacts on the local communities would be $15 million.
The total cost of the improvements would have a price tag of $420 million according to Vitagliano.
To date, requests for a copy of the report Senator Petrucelli authorized and Massachusetts taxpayers paid for has not been produced.
What are they hiding?
