MASSterList: Court stunner | The Liz Terminators | SUV payment plan

ROBERT MERCER = FAKE NEWS BREITBART = CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA = JOHN BOLTON'S PAC = TAX DEAD BEAT.....KEEP WATCHING!

‘The Committee to Destroy Elizabeth Warren’ Jaime Fuller at Boston Magazine takes a look at the conservative forces lining up, and putting money down, to help defeat U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren as she seeks re-election this year. Fuller takes a specific look at one Robert Mercer, a hedge-fund executive (of course), who seems particularly determined to politically terminate the state and nation’s top female progressive. Boston Magazine WHAT SAY YOU, CHARLIE? WHO'S AUDITING? WHERE WAS THIS AUTHORIZED? WHO APPROVED THIS? CHARLIE BAKER HAS BEEN TOO BUSY FUNDRAISING AND GLAD HANDING TO GOVERN.  SUV payment plan: State Police got a $40 per diem for driving their own cars to work Speaking of police: It turns out that members of the State Police’s Troop F not only get lots and lots of overtime for working details at Logan Airport, they also get $40 per diem for driving their own cars to work, costing the state millions of dollars, reports the Globe’s Matt Rocheleau, in yet the latest story on previously undisclosed payroll data at State Police. Let’s do the math: $40 per diem per work week equals $200, or $800 a month, or ... more than enough to pay for that Chevy Tahoe, Toyota Sequoia, or, dare we say, a Lincoln Navigator or Land Rover? Boston Globe THE BIG DIG! THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING! The crumbling Albany Street bridge was built in 2005? The Herald’s Dan Atkinson reports on the reaction of transit advocates to the massive chunks of concrete falling from the state’s Albany Street bridge onto commuter rail tracks – and how it points to the need for infrastructure improvements. But what caught our attention is that the bridge in question was built only in 2005 as part of the Big Dig project, suggesting we’re not talking about your standard “aging infrastructure” problem – and our mind zips back to a not-so-long-ago $42 million settlement over substandard concrete provided to the Big Dig. OK, we’re probably  just connecting random dot. But a crumbling bridge built in 2005? Boston Herald WHERE ARE YOU CHARLIE?  YOUR POLITICAL HACKS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! AG says T broke law when awarding North Quincy garage contract The MBTA needs to follow public-bidding laws for the construction of a parking garage at the North Quincy T station, the office of Attorney General Maura Healey ruled on Tuesday, rejecting the T’s argument that it was exempt from the requirement because the project is part of larger development being leased to private owners, reports the Patriot Ledger . Patriot Ledger Beaty’s tweets are Stanton’s treats From Geoff Spillane at the Cape Cod Times: “Barnstable County Commissioner Ronald Beaty’s recent Twitter comments disparaging Parkland, Florida, school shooting survivor David Hogg have led to a cash windfall for Jack Stanton, the Democratic candidate for state representative in the 5th Barnstable District. Beaty is also a candidate in the race.” Cape Cod Times
