Short-sighted Politicans

They'll be out of office before their disasters become apparent.

Rather than sound fiscal policy, cost-saving measures, Beacon Hill Ding-A-Lings brought you Predatory Gambling in All-The-Wrong-Places.

Malaysian investors in Taunton, exacerbating the Gridlock, sending $$$ overseas and costing Massachusetts taxpayers unknown amounts to improve the infrastructure?

And unlike the Commercial investors, Genting will have no background scrutiny because of the blind legislators who supported this.

Union members who mindlessly supported an industry known for its anti-union history will wonder what happened to the jobs. Those that are offered will be low wage, dragging down the regional wages as they have elsewhere.

Business owners who wrongly believed this would benefit them, will wonder what happened when they shutter their doors.

And when CRIME increases, "I told you so!" is no consolation.

So, what should have been an uneventful announcement of a company moving instead represents the definition of political stupidity, unable to solve any problem, just focus on getting re-elected to the guaranteed paycheck and the undeserved pension.

This is just the beginning.

Heavy truck traffic expected on parts of Interstate 495 and Route 44 Friday, Saturday in Middleboro area Truck traffic may also jam rotary as Sysco moves from Norton to Plympton   By Alice C. Elwell Enterprise correspondent Posted Jun 21, 2012 MIDDLEBORO — Motorists may want to avoid stretches of Interstate 495 and Route 44 on Friday and Saturday where trailer trucks will be moving Sysco Boston LLC from its Norton facility to new digs in Plympton.   The move is already under way, but the big push will begin at 6 a.m. Friday and last through Saturday night.   Chuck Fraser, Sysco’s executive vice president, said the company hired JB Hunt of Walpole to move its goods into the new warehouse.   “I think people should avoid the rotary on Friday if they can, it will be a very busy day,” said Middleboro Town Manager Charles J. Cristello.   The Route 44 rotary is already noted for gridlock and traffic snarls, especially during rush hour. Fred Casinelli, president of Sysco Boston LLC, said he has hired police details and will route trucks coming from Interstate 495 to exit at Route 18 to avoid adding to backups on the interstate and at the rotary entrance from Route 44. The truck fleet will be staggered in groups of about 20 trucks each.   “We’re taking all precautions,” said Casinelli. Last year, the food service giant paid $5.7 million for 130 acres of industrial property at Plympton’s Spring Street interchange on Route 44.
