Governor Spitzpatrick, continued

December 7, 2007 By David

Here's another sorta parallel. Spitzer's first hostile act as governor-a gentle one, by Spitzer standards-occurred in his inaugural speech. "Like Rip Van Winkle," he pronounced, "New York has slept through much of the past decade while the … [Read more...]

💯FACTS! And what's being proposed by @MayorWu DOESN'T fix the problem. At BEST—KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD & Black, brown & poor OUT of Boston. Btw—@AyannaPressley reps one of POOREST & most DISADVANTAGED districts in congress, yet awful quit on home issues. #UrbanAgenda #BOSpoli https://twitter.com/OnlyInBOS/status/1618753149560291331
