Liking Governor Patrick a little more

February 2, 2009 By warrior02131 9 Comments

Hi All:

While watching the news tonight, Governor Patrick was asked by a reporter, “Can you tell us what you and Speaker DeLeo discussed regarding casino gambling?” Governor Patrick retorted, “‘ I can, but I’m not gonna.'”

It made me like Governor Patrick a little more because it showed he has a sense of humor, something that is severely lacking in our public officals nowadays.

Respectfully Submitted,

Sincerely,

Wayne Wilson

Casinos and gambling will not magically solve all our fiscal woes!

<

p>The Governor is a real down to earth guy.  But I still have issues with gambling as a panacea.

<

p>What pol wouldn’t want to tell a reporter, “Yes I know, but I’m not gonna tell you.”  

<

p>Go Governor Patrick!

…the same time as most of the State House.  That is to say, when a lobbyist-authored giveaway bill for casino “investors” is bum-rushed through the Legislature, accompanied by panic-talk about balancing the budget.

p>Hahaha.

Major policy being formed entirely out of public view! By a person who was never elected statewide and yet wields huge power and a governor who barely discussed casinos while running for office, yet has made it one of his major goals thus far!

p>Hilarious.

I almost blew sugary drink out my nose when he started talking about the tax increase on drinks, “this is a critical first step in discouraging the consumption of these empty calories…”  and then, “I think dedicating those funds to nutrition and wellness services is a wise decision.”  What a sense of humor.

<

p>So funny, he actually pretended it wasn’t just a blatant tax increase when said it with a straight face.  Total deadpan sincerity. Just so, I feel like giving up booze, candy and sugary drinks so that I have more energy to feel angry and deprived.

Maybe take up smoking.  Much like giving up booze, candy and sugary drinks, smoking will stop weight gain.  Eventually.

Hi All:

<

p>While I was at the convenience store last night, I saw a woman paid $50 cash for her cell phone then promptly paid for a ginger ale and a king size Snickers with her EBT card.

<

p>What’s up with that?

So if I'm waiting for a loved one to get off a train at N. Station, where do I sit? I'm not usually a "@CharlieBakerMA should ride the T" guy. But if he rode the T regularly he would be asking this Q. Instead, his Admin punishes riders w/gates. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/12/15/get-ready-keolis-says-fare-gates-are-coming-commuter-rail-next-year/Zb19kqxbJO7jBfAtmaRluO/story.html #mapoli

The “centrist lane” must not take us off a cliff.

No thanks Pete.

Today, I asked @PeteButtigieg to change his climate plan because his call to end climate pollution by 2050 IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. In response, he asked @m_kimaya and I (two teenagers) to propose a plan and asked me to “rethink my strategy”.

In awe of this 👇🏽 dedication to environmental justice. We must move away from fossil fuel infrastructure, and it's disgraceful that our state gave Enbridge permission to build this public health hazard. #mapoli https://twitter.com/ClimateDisobey/status/1204740376197844992

Happening now: Minutes ago in #Weymouth, first arrests of the morning: @AndreaDoremus and Kiki Fluhr blocking entrance to the compressor station. Thank you, friends!

It’s terrible what Trump said about Greta, a kid with Aspergers.

It’s incalculably worse what he’s doing to literally every child on the planet.
