POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: SPICER stumping for DIEHL today — KENNEDY’s Facebook exchange — HOUSE seeks STATE POLICE oversight

CHARLIE BAKER'S DUMB IDEAS! SMOKE & MIRRORS WITH THE BUDGET! 

- "House budget calls for State Police oversight and rebuffs Baker's Medicaid plan," by Matt Stout and Joshua Miller, Boston Globe: "House leaders unveiled a $41 billion spending plan on Wednesday that rebuffs Governor Charlie Baker's budget proposal on several fronts, thwarting his efforts to move 140,000 poor adults from Medicaid to private plans and insisting on tighter oversight of the scandal-scarred State Police. 

The $40.98 billion budget proposal also ditches Baker's call to shift millions of dollars of MBTA salaries from its operating budget onto its capital spending plan, a move House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo likened to paying people with a credit card. At the same time, the House instead funnels more money toward the T to help prop up its budget."

- "Gov. Charlie Baker: Minimum wage, paid leave, sales tax should be decided by lawmakers, not voters," by Shira Schoenberg, MassLive.com: "Gov. Charlie Baker said Tuesday that he hopes lawmakers -- not the voters -- will decide the fate of major economic issues, including the minimum wage, paid family leave and the state sales tax. 'I think we can probably do a better job of dealing with those issues that way than through the ballot,' [he said.]"

CHARLIE BAKER'S DOR FLOP....AGAIN! CHARLIE BAKER ALLOWED INCOMPETENT POLITICAL HACKS TO RUN AMOK!

- "Errant mailings by state tax department expose private data of 6,100 people," by Joshua Miller, Boston Globe: "The state's beleaguered Department of Revenue - already reeling this year after failing to deliver timely child-support payments and a data breach of sensitive businesses tax information - announced Wednesday that the personal information of thousands of people who pay child support was inadvertently sent to companies that do not employ them. Officials in the administration of Governor Charlie Baker said the faulty mailings mean the private data - including Social Security numbers - of about 6,100 people who owe child support were sent to the wrong addresses."
