The Republican race for Governor is showing signs of distress. Charlie Baker is taking alot of heat for yesterday's Herald story concerning his raise at Harvard Pilgrim. Blue Mass Group's David Kravitz has all the articles.
The Herald's Margery Eagan examines Baker's chances with and without the "Lone Ranger" business titan appeal.
Patrick's pit bull Tim Murray gets his kicks in, too, reports the Herald's Jessica van Slack.
A spot of good press, though, is that Baker is unveiling a ten-point plan, reports the AP's Glen Johnson.
Meanwhile, the State House News Service's Kyle Cheney is reporting that Christy Mihos is having trouble bucking the establishment and getting a running mate who is not Baker's candidate. I'm starting to think the alternate ticket is Mihos/Robinson. You know, as in Jack E., although he's busy running for Attorney General.
Treasurer Tim Cahill (and independent candidate for Governor) is alleging that Governor Patrick and Obamacare will bankrupt the nation in four years, reports Jessica van Slack. I think it's a little questionable that Cahill is trying to tie Romneycare around Patrick's neck, especially when Patrick's already in the news trying to cap health care costs. It seems weak and opportunistic.
The AP reports that Governor Patrick's first re-election ad, this one focusing on healthcare, will be making the rounds soon. You know. So Cahill's kind of wasting his time trying to tie Obamacare to Patrick, especially since Patrick's running on his health care accomplishments, which kind of negates the idea that Massachusetts is bankrupt because of its horrible, horrible
Joe Dwinell reports that Governor Patrick will be chatting with Herald readers on the internet tomorrow.
The State House News Service's Jim O'Sullivan reports that state unions are balking at Governor Patrick's plans to reform pensions for public employees.
The Herald's Richard Weir reports on some of the stranger proposals coming out of the Boston City Council over the past decade... although he vaguely just calls it "silly season," which makes it all sound more recent. In another article, he picks out some real winners like Ray Flynn, who hasn't been on the Council in years, Felix Arroyo, whose son is now on the Council, and Chuck Turner, who just barely won re-election last year anyways. Adam Gaffin wonders when the Herald last showed up to a Council session, and directs his readers to Council President Michael Ross's response.
