Gabrielli’s Deal? What a Joke!

By

I just read his deal with the voter. (When I take the time and learn how to link I will. Crash course anyone?)

Sorry, this guy just doesn’t cut it with me. He is going to do the following?

1. Conduct a top to bottom performance review.

Wow! What a great “new idea”.

Question for Gabs:

Based on your extensive business and financial background, involvement with the state in education and other issues, and a candidate in 3 major elections, what examples of inefficiencies and future inefficiencies come to your mind?

2. Eliminate wasteful spending. Get good value for tax dollar.
Wow! What great “new idea”.

And how are you going to do this?
By critically looking at everything

“from expenditures like employee travel to small details like government cell phone bills” you say.

So I guess with your extensive experience, and great and new ideas you consider employee travel a huge state expense. Our problems are solved when we make sure a mid level manager in some agency doesn’t get the ‘Grand Slam” breakfast on the one and only out of town professional conference. The Herald can get 3 days of front page stories out of that.

Fantastic!

3. Crack down on Big Dig-like cost overruns.

Wow! What a great  “new idea”.

And How are you going to do this Gabs?

By treating state contracts like the credit card bill of the average middle class consumer? That’s your answer Gabs?

4. Prepare long-term budgets

Wow, what a great idea.

Tell us how, Gabs. I may be wrong but I believe that requires a change to the state constitution. (DAVID – CALL To DAVID)

If not agreement from the legislature. You are not running for CEO of the state Gabs. No matter how much $$$ you spend.

5. Be a full-time Governor.
Wow! What a great “new idea”.

6. Improve and expand the reach of e-government.
Wow! What a great “new idea.”
Gabs said, “Yeah, it’s amazing, it’s called the internet. Wait until we introduce this to state government. I’ll tell you all about it.  But first, I need you tell me about O.J. killing his wife. Wait until I tell people about that.”

7. Hold regular town hall meetings in every region of the state.
Wow! What a great “mew idea.”

Maybe other candidates should try town meetings? Maybe the President? Or maybe local and national news stations?

For a candidate who touts himself as the “wait-to-they-get a-load-of-my-ideas” candidate, this naive, insulting, list or “deal” is ten times worse than Reilly’s wish list.

Deal ,what deal? What I am stupid?

Not a single specific.

I am beginning to think that in the venture capitalist boardroom ideas room Gabs is more of a ‘being there’ sort of fellow.

And Lucky when it comes to $$$.

Christ, even his nanny hit the lottery for over $100 million.

    Ignoring the quotes

  3. and admit that you have become powerless over your keyboard, Ernie. Then tell dad you’ll take that job buffing the cars at Xway Toyota. If AJ Soprano can work for a living you can too.

    • But it’s somewhat comforting to know that I have been outed by the best.

      My hat is off to you my good man Cannoneo.

    This IS a new idea compared to Romney’s part-time status.

    Actually, government IS way behind as far as the Internet goes. Ask any business owner who has tried to renew business licences over the Internet (for most agencies, it doesn’t happen).

    • And I did know what he meant. But humor trumps the obvious here.

      But really, who is advising him? These are not what i call “new ideas” or something that makes a voter say, what a good deal. RememebrGabrielli calls this a deal with the voters.  This deal is the deal made between simpletons.

      I am sooo not impressed with this. These ideas were thought of in the cafetaria right before they were due.

      • Gabs clearly needs to differentiate himself from the pack. I think he wants to do it as the “ideas” candidate (whatever that means), but he’s not going to do it with this list. Stem cell research funding is a start, but he really needs to start talking about specific ideas for economic development, housing, and so forth that we haven’t really heard too much about yet in the race.

        <

        That is the only way, I think, that he can differentiate himself. We already have the “establishment” vs. “liberal” candidates (though Reilly and Patrick’s actual views are probably pretty similar).
