Would a super-tax on AIG bonuses be an unconstitutional Bill of Attainder?

Its time to Boycott AIG and for Massachusetts to divest any business with AIG.

March 16, 2009 By woburndem

One would think that Tim Geitner was tied at the hip with the bad boys of AIG as he became the architect of another bad boy bailout system. Is he to close to his friends to be the agent of change and inflict the penalty deserved by such … [Read more...]

The thing is, no matter who Healey hires as the new MBTA general manager, the system is still going to need more operational funding from the state and a new board with local representation. That's what the MBTA discourse with top elected officials should be spotlighting. #mapoli

Lisa Kashinsky @lisakashinsky

.@WBUR's @tiziana_dearing tries to get Gov. @maura_healey to commit to a timeline for announcing a new MBTA GM and transpo safety chief. Healey's been saying it's a matter of "days." Dearing asks if she's talking one or two weeks. Healey dodges: "it will be very soon" #mapoli

The walls are closing in @DoctorTurtleboy @turtleboyphone! #mapoli

Brian Riccio @wtfdic_hour

As you can see here, women like this one and @juliaforboston have had enough of the harassment of @DoctorTurtleboy. So it's hilarious to watch him try and play the victim here when it's clear the low rent porn star is finally getting a taste of his own medicine. #mapoli?… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1638900492649594886
