Here is a short video on YouTube, well worth watching, as the Governor talks about manufacturing jobs in the Commonwealth.
The Governor was invited to the ribbon-cutting event for this conference/expo in West Springfield, which is the largest of its kind on the East Coast. In addition, all of the traditional media were there, and this will give great exposure to the fact that we are experiencing a recovering economy, and that good, high-quality jobs are being created here in the Bay State because of the groundwork that Deval has laid over the past 3+ years.
Get the word out: Massachusetts is on the mend!
Please share widely!

Been going to this convention on and off for 30 years – Governor Patrick has nothing to do with it – this is just a photo op.
