Wow! 15,000 Jobs? NOT!

We've finally found an appropriate career path for the delusional (no offense intended to those truly suffering from any illness).

Rather than institutionalize them or medicate them, put them in public office!

Will someone please tell DeLeo, regardless of how much money you spend on Industry Studies, you simply will NOT have 15,000 jobs!

Think again!

"I find it hard to believe that Governor Patrick will veto 15,000 jobs and the prospect of immediate local aid funds for cities and towns," DeLeo said.

Rep. Brian Dempsey Supports Racino Giveaway

SHNS reports:

DEMPSEY ANSWERS RACINO BENEFIT QUESTIONS, ‘NO-BID’ CHARGES

After racino skeptics, including Gov. Deval Patrick and Senate President Therese Murray, charged that the House plan for racetrack slot machines represented “no-bid” contracts, Rep. Brian Dempsey’s office said late last week that the House opted to avoid a “free-for-all method of licensure.”


Dempsey did not address one of the opponents’ chief arguments, that the new gambling venues will suck money from the Lottery and related local aid.

How did this become an argument presented by "opponents"? This was a statement included within the initially Spectrum Report that determined the Lottery would be impacted. Taxpayers spent $189,000 for that report. Are we to lightly dismiss its assessments?


How much more clear could this be?

Inspector General Greg Sullivan, a procurement expert and state watchdog, told the News Service last week that licenses for racetrack slots included in the House bill represented no-bid contracts "plain and simple."
