Reply #3: Self indulgent bastion of liberalism? WTF!! [View All]

I don't see too much mention of the voters tendency in Massachusetts to elect repub governors. It tends to go beyond Mitt "The Shit". Take a look at Bill Weld and if you go back far enough John Volpe.
I'll be the first to admit that Mass. state political scene is not perfect. Can any state, red or blue, say that theirs is? For instance, right now there's a controversy involving Deval Patrick's point man on the biotech sector jumping ship and becoming a lobbyist for the industry, a job that could earn possibly $500K/year. Doing that so suddenly is violation of ethics rules as I understand it.
And the high taxes? Well look, police, fire, schools, public health, environmental protections,
roads, infrastructure, and the like don't come for free. If you want them you'll have to pay for them.
All in all, and if money was no object there is no place that I would rather live more than in the Bay State. If Mr. Keller doesn't like it there, he can leave. Screw him!
