From Bad to Worse, Massachusetts Legislature watering down more already weak ethics legislation

Inefficiency, Fraud, and Abuse of the Special Interest will only continue.

Change and a real disinfectant is needed by government.

How low and out of control can government go before there is outrage by the citizens and a real reform movement begins?

I suggest that so called good government groups such as Common Cause stop trying to become insiders with the politicans and really lead an all out reform movement.

STATE BUDGET FRAUD CONTINUES ON BEACON HILL....WASTE, FRAUD, ABUSE, INEFFICIENCY, AND MISMANAGEMENT CONTINUES TO BE COVERED UP


The yearly legislative Budget Process becomes another bad nightmare.

There should be no cuts in any state services or budgets. There should be expansion.

All that is needed is an assault on inefficiency, waste, mismanagement, fraud and abuse. Concentrate on the purchase of services from vendors, contractors, providers,patronage unneeded positions, consultants,underground economy and the special interests.

Accountability, oversight, and post audit continues to not be implemented in the budget process.

The mistrust in government continues leaving the taxpayers to dig deeper to finance the state budget fraud. Time for the governor and legislature to stop acting like emperors who have not clothes by leaving all egos at the door and doing their elected job.

CUT Massachusetts STATE EMPLOYEE WORKFORCE TO SOLVE THE STATE FISCAL CRISIS!

PROTECT THE MASSACHUSETTS TAXPAYERS FOUNDATION AND BEACON HILL INSTITUTE WHOSE MEMBERS RECEIVE STATE CONTRACTS OR GET GRANTS!

BLAMING THE STATE WORKERS AND NOT THE SPECIAL INTERESTS WHO ARE THE REAL CULPRITs IS A GROSS COVER UP THAT THE MEDIA MUST EXPOSE.


Michael Widmer of the the misnamed Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation is directly responsible for the state fiscal mess because of bad guidance and inefficiency, waste, of and mismanagement of his members who get state contracts. The Beacon Hill Institute who is for hire by special interests seeking State Contracts or avoiding regulations are way off base in attacking state employee workers.

The problem is both Michael Widmer and David Tuerck are part of the problem. Over the years, they have failed to support oversight and accountability in government starting with the Big Big Dig fraud, abuse and by contractors providers,and vendors waste of tax dollars.

The misdirected are the state employees who have been victimized and scapegoated by the likes of Widmer and Tuerck who continue to be wrongly held having credibility by a misguided press that the media should expose are the cause for the Massachusetts Fiscal Crisis.
