Ah...ever faithful Eric!

The Boston Globe presented an interesting comparison, not particularly meaningful, about paroles under recent Governors.

What is striking about the 'Fehrstrom' quote is the fantasy it creates, ignoring that Governor Romney began campaigning for President as soon as he became Governor, was always 'out of town' when catastrophe struck and was forced to return to pretend he was governing.

Also ignored is that he gutted the state lab, creating a scandal in the early days of the Patrick Administration. How many crimes were never prosecuted because the statute of limitations ran out on the evidence testing? How many cases were overturned?

On a personal note, it's always curious that 'pro-life' folks are pro-death penalty and see no contradiction.

Parole records under Romney, Patrick similar
Data on releases reveal little about politics


Eric Fehrnstrom, a spokesman for Romney, defended his boss’s record...Romney... tried to bring back the death penalty. And he noted that Cinelli first came up for parole in 2005, when Romney was governor, and the board rejected him.

“Mitt Romney was a law-and-order governor who time and again demonstrated his commitment to keeping the public safe from violent criminals,’’ Fehrnstrom said in a statement last week. Romney, he said, tried to appoint board members with law enforcement backgrounds but met resistance from council members and legislators.
