Baker’s Scooby Doo Ghost Office

October 23, 2010 By akloftus

Channel 3 in Springfield went on a mission to uncover the mystery of Charlie Baker’s phantom Western Mass campaign office, which his aides have tweeted about, but nobody in Western Mass has ever heard of, or seen … until now.

What they uncovered was frightening – a shuttered gas station with steel wires over the windows, and rusty yellow aluminum siding adorned with a few Baker-Tisei signs. Zoinks!

Of course Baker’s staff assure the citizens of Holyoke that the office is a bustling hub of activity, and that it just isn’t open for media, or volunteers, or really anyone without a tetanus shot.

Even more chilling is this photo of the ghost office’s online property listing, showing that the 555 South Canal St. location (Service / Gas Station – Vacant) is available for rental today, replete with concrete floors and no sprinklers.

Please share widely!

    at this office. Not only is it “on the second floor,” but it’s in an industrial area surrounded by urban blight.

    p>There are plenty of neighborhoods with space available that would be more amenable to an active campaign office than this one.

    …and it’s visible only in car headlights, but it’s a Patrick headqarters – will it be full of people?

    <

    p>Has this poster actually gone to the building DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS???

More “Transparency in Government” #mapoli

Gov. Maura Healey said that she will not introduce legislation that would make her office subject to the Massachusetts Public Records Law. https://buff.ly/3DANOPI

NOAA: Average ground temperature in north hemisphere has decreased 1/2 degree in 25 years.

RECORD COLD = Deadly Ice Age crisis

Honest experts tell us planet cooling is fault of U.S. workers wanting to create abundance.
