MASSterList: Bad Drivers Wanted | Progressive labels | JOB BOARD MONDAY
WHERE ARE YA, CHARLIE?
The T’s beyond bad record of hiring bad drivers |
It’s as if the T’s rail operator put out a sign reading: Bad Drivers Wanted. The Globe’s Andrea Estes has the shocking statistics on just how many bad drivers – including one whose license has been suspended 39 times – have been hired as commuter rail engineers to operate trains. A sampling: “Nearly 50 engineers have had their driver’s licenses suspended — 44 of them more than once, according to Registry of Motor Vehicle records reviewed by the Globe.”
Mathematically, it seems a blind-folded, pull-a-name-out-of-the-hat hiring system would have worked better.

Massie: ‘I am the only true progressive in the race’ |
His two Democratic rivals, Jay Gonzalez and Setti Warren, may beg to differ, but Bob Massie is declaring himself the only true progressive (“in the full historic sense of the word”) in the Democratic primary for governor. As he writes at CommonWealth magazine: “The term ‘progressive’ had been dormant for decades, but was revived in reaction to the Democratic Party’s unhealthy willingness to compromise with corporate interests in exchange for campaign contributions. It is now often used less as a true description and more as branding.”
