New ad vs. Question 1

October 16, 2008 By Charley on the MTA

The Vote No On Question One folks have an ad out. It's pretty good: a succinct, simple statement of what's at stake.

 

Imagine that. Our tax dollars actually do pay for something that we value.

(thx Politicker.)

    It’s pretty good: a succinct, simple statement of How are tax dollars become Bribes and Payoffs. How the crooks on Beacon funnel our tax dollars to themselves.

      “Salvatore F. DiMasi’s closest friends and business associates received more than $1.8 million in previously undisclosed payments from a computer software company and its sales agent.”

      p>It’s tough to argue for question 1 if you can’t tell the difference between private and public money.

      Yes, it’s bad, but in the scheme of things, we shouldn’t be wrecking state and city government over this.

      p>However, I have a different. Inspector General Gregory Sullivan was responsible for the investigation. Do we have any evidence that the Inspector General’s office is under-resourced. I would bet that it should have resources such that it is occasionally idle, i.e. it should have a small backlog, it should be actively looking for trouble, and it should be effective at finding it and stopping it.

      p>Is it? Anyone know?
