POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: RGA eyes November – GANNON funeral today – A KENNEDY’s opioid-addiction profits


POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: RGA eyes November – GANNON funeral today – A KENNEDY’s opioid-addiction profits


CHARLIE BAKER'S TENURE HAS BEEN FILLED WITH SCANDALS, POLITICAL HACK-A-RAMA, MBTA FAILURES, DOR FAILURES, DCF FAILURES, ROSEY PROMISES OF A GROSSLY OVER-PRICED SOUTH COAST RAIL SOLUTION LACKING RIDERSHIP, DOWN GRADED BOND RATING AND MUCH ELSE.  

TEFLON CHARLIE GETS A FREE RIDE FROM THE MEDIA?

POPULAR? ONLY IF YOU WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION! 

As the RGA's comms director Justin Thompson put it to me yesterday, "With a job approval rating in the mid-70's and a successful record of policy results, Governor Baker is in strong position for re-election this November. I can't comment on exactly what we will or won't do when it comes to spending, since we don't usually comment on strategy, but I can say that Governor Baker is getting results for Massachusetts and that the RGA is committed to ensuring he is re-elected so he can continue achieving meaningful reform."
The RGA pumped more than $11 million into Massachusetts in 2014 in support of then-candidate Baker, outspending Democratic outside groups. Of that sum, $10.4 million came through an in-state independent expenditure PAC called Commonwealth Future, which then aired 10 TV ads, as the RGA detailed in a post-election memo.

WHERE IS CHARLIE BAKER? SILENCE IS NOT LEADERSHIP!

- "More hidden State Police pay surfaces. This time: millions in perks," by Matt Rocheleau, Boston Globe: "Under fire for failing to disclose pay data, state officials last week quietly released new State Police figures, revealing more than $3.4 million in additional payouts over four years. Most, if not all, of the money appears tied to a single, generous perk: Troop F members got a $40 per diem for driving their own cars to work."



- "With state's Community Preservation Act match projected at record low, Easthampton City Council may push Beacon Hill," by Mary C. Serreze, MassLive.com: "Estimated state matching funds for local Community Preservation Act projects across Massachusetts will stand at a record-low 11 percent this year. That's a mere sliver of the 100 percent match promised when the state Legislature enacted the preservation law in 2000."
