With regard to Deval Patrick’s shocking, shocking recent meeting with legislators, Adam Reilly quotes the State House News Service quoting Speaker Sal DiMasi’s spokesman thusly:
Asked for comment, DiMasi spokesman Kyle Sullivan said, ‘The lieutenant governors recent statements are curious since she has met privately with Speaker DiMasi herself on a number of occasions when it was politically convenient for her to do so. Also, Governor Romney has met with House and Senate leadership on a regular basis without complaint, though Kerry Healey was not usually present for those senior leadership meetings.’
Well OK, so maybe she’s still got some outsiderishness. Gotta give her credit there. If she’d been there at those senior leadership meetings, you know she would have shaken up things, due to her totally independent profile and mad leadership skillz.
