THE MEDIA CONTINUES NOT TO FOCUS ON THE REAL ISSUES OF NEW POTENTIAL MASSACHUSETTS GAS TAX, TURNPIKE, AND TUNNEL TOLLS. GOVERNOR DEVAL PATRICK AND HIS ETHICAL QUESTIONABLE TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY ALOISI MUST STOP MANIPULATING THE MEDIA AND CITIZENRY THROUGH FALSE PROPAGANDA WITH THEIR LET'S MAKE A DEAL USED CAR SELLING APPROACH.
January 9, 2009
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and his ethical questionable Transportation Secretary Jim Aloisi after shocking citizens of a complete raid on their pocketbooks are suggesting they are open to not taking it all.
Will the Media, legislature, and citizens see through the tried and true approach to coverup and fool. Government observers know the drill that political managers in charge always use. They shock by advocating a full arm amputation, cause termoil, and then settle for only a finger that become accepted by all those suckered as the solution.
Massachusetts needs another WARD type commission that came about during the Government Center Scandal to get the real facts, precisely pinpoint blame for current failures to see where all the promised transportation monies in the culture of inefficiency, waste, mismanagement, campaign contributions that led to all the waste, fraud, and corruption before any toll or gas tax increases.
The time is overdue for real accountability and oversight that guarantees no more waste, fraud, and abuse of any new Federal Highway Monies, Toll and Tunnel Collections, or Gas Taxes.
TIME FOR MEDIA TO FOCUS ON THE REAL ISSUES OF INSURING ALL PAST FALSE PROMISES DOES NOT CONTINUE THAT THE BAD ROAD AND BRIDGES WILL REALLY BE REPAIRED WITHOUT FURTHER RAIDS ON THE BELEAGURED CITIZENS POCKETBOOKS.
GOVERNOR PATRICK HIS ETHICAL QUESTIONABLE TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY ALOISI MUST REALIZE THE TIME HAS COME TO COME CLEAN AND BE HONEST....STOP THE MANIPULATING
MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR DEVAL PATRICK IS NOW DEFENDING HIS APPOINTEE TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY JIM ALOISI AS THE SOLUTION TO DEAL WITH ALL THE FAILURES IN THE MASSACHUSETTS TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE.
THIS GUY WAS THERE,IS THERE,AND NOW WILL BE THERE. ALOISI HELPED DO IT AND CREATING THE DISGRACEFUL MESS TO BEGIN WITH....THIS IS LIKE HIRING BERNIE MADEOFF TO DEAL WITH THE FINANCIAL BANK AND INVESTMENT CRISIS!
January 6, 2009
Those that sounded the alarm for decades on the Big Dig in previous Dukakis, Weld, Cellucci,Swift, and Romney Administrations feel Governor Patrick shows a lack of any ethical standards in this appointment. Jim Aloisi is a most competent person that has a resume of self service before public service.
The reporters from the Herald, Globe and other media outlets have also just recently further documented the Aloisi record and most disgusting resume.
As someone who as been there, I have done so also on this personal Blog site as well as a written commentary on many other of the Guilty, Enablers, and Heroes on the Big Dig. Unfortunately, the facts and viewpoints of those who have blown the whistle over the years and doing so now are not listened or taken into consideration.
Governor Patrick who campaigned on Government Reform now has reached a new depth of that by promoting a ring leader Jim Aloisi. Aloisi has highly contributed to inefficiency, waste, mismanagement in our transportation infrastructure that has led to the monumental waste, fraud, abuse, and outright improprieties in several areas due to a lack of oversight and accountability in our transportation spending infrastructure.
Massachusetts truly needs another WARD type Commission more stronger than the one that was formed during the Government Center Scandals. A true independent reform entity that will be listened to and followed for all government contracting.
Does anyone fear based on the Aloisi track record that he is the best person to oversee $Billions in Transportation Agencies worth and contracts?

POLITICKER MASSACHUSETTS NAMES UP AND COMERS FOR 2009. ATTORNEY GENERAL MARTHA COAKLEY TOPS LIST?
January 5, 2009
Martha Coakley entered the Office of Attorney General with so much hope for reform and doing the work for the citizens.
Thus far litlle or nil has happened to distinguish her. She has played the political game of those before her trying from the outset to move to other political offices.
Look at the divisions that she manages from Fair Labor, Consumer, Criminal, and her newly created one that appears to be failing, Anti Trust.
Martha Coakley should do her job and professionalize and not politicalize the Office she sought two years ago in order to establish a record of integrity and reform so much needed in our failing government and economy.
Attorney General Coakley, should forget wanting to be Governor or going to Washington, trying not to be just another politician doing self interest instead of public interest. Her history when written could be a statesperson and not just another politician....Her choice

THE UNCHECKED RAPE ON MEDICAID CONTINUES FOR 2009 BY THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY PROVIDERS, LABOR BOSSES, AND SO CALLED CONSUMER HEALTH ADVOCACY GROUP ALLIES.
January 2, 2008
There should be no cuts in Medicaid Health, Health Insurance Services, Hospitalization, Drug Coverage, or Home Health Services or or so called Community Health Centers. There should be massive increases in services first before going after more funds.
The issue is simple that very few are addressing except those who seek accountability and oversight.
The point being is first eliminate the documented waste, fraud, and abuse that exists in the Human Medical Delivery Establishment. The stated estimates in Massachusetts could are at least $750 million to $1.5 Billion and possibly much more.
Start at the top with executive salaries. perks, expense accounts, interrelated parties, commissions and incentives to get to the root of mismanagement of expenditures.
Unfortunately, the only reforms we see are to keep the fat for continual CEO management,labor bosses only interested in getting dues,and self appointed adovocacy groups who continue or blindly allow the abuse by persecuting the sick who need services and those care givers, support staff, doctors, nurses, and technicians. There should be no cuts in Medicaid Health Services or so called Community Health Centers. There should be massive increases in services with existing dollars first before going after more funds.

Will the Industry and labor boss lobbyists with their campaign contributions and advocacy group power from the medical Industry ever allow real reforms?

MASSACHUSETTS BUDGET CUTS AGAIN THIS YEAR!!!!...WHO IS THE DUMB, DUMBER, DUMBEST? THE GOVERNOR, LEGISLATURE, OR CITIZENS WHO BELIEVE THERE IS AN ACTUAL CRISIS AND NOT ANOTHER COVERUP? IS THIS ANOTHER MAKE BELIEVE SCHEME TO ONCE AGAIN JUSTIFY INEFFICIENCY, WASTE, OR MISMANAGEMENT FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GIVING MORE TO THE SPECIAL INTERESTS AND PRESERVING MORE PATRONAGE SPECIAL INTEREST SPENDING FOR INSIDERS AND CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTERS?

Massachusetts Unecessary Budget Cuts Are Another Scheme To Fool The Taxpayers and Citizens
Shame and stupidity prevails on any proposed Massachusetts budget cuts with the Governor cutting budgets even wanting supreme powers to cut at will. This clearly shows an absolute dumbness that only depicts a continual lack of leadership failure with both the House and Senate Leadership enablers being part of the scheme. Unfortunately, most in the media will not report the real facts as always not to antagonize future access to the political elite.
There should be no budget shortfalls and a leaner budget to begin with. Stop feeding the addiction of costly no bid contracts to vendors, providers, and consultants that cost billions of budget taxpayer dollars. Elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse rampant throughout in several budget areas alone could solve any deficiency. Going after the so called underground economy that flourishes in the state alone means billions of additional revenue.
The elimination of unneeded patronage positions will enable the career dedicated workforce to perform their mandated duties on behalf of the taxpayers and citizens of Massachusetts.
Time for a true line item, subsidiary accounts, object codes, and a scheduling state budget filled with true accountability and oversight devices to regain the trust in government by the citizenry.
These are the solutions in plain talk. The bad taste of the Big Dig, Turnpike, Special Interest campaign Contributions, and those who practice personal gain instead of the common good has left citizens to be cynical and have no trust in Massachusetts Government.
Reforms are needed now, not yesterday, or tomorrow. Show us there is indeed a crisis and waste, fraud, and abuse has been eliminated openly and honestly then belief in our government will be restored and the citizens will follow.

MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR DEVAL PATRICK CONTINUES THE FAILURE OF BOTCHED TRANSPORATION POLICIES FOR THE SPECIAL INTERESTS.....APPOINTMENT OF DISCREDITED JIM ALOISI AS TRANSPORTATION CZAR FRONT PERSON ONLY CONTINUES THE FAILURE OF HIS GURU FRED SALVUCCI THE DESIGNER WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BIG DIG SCHEME AND TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURES
December 29,2008
The appointment and those trying to justify Jim Aloisi as Massachusetts Transportation are absolutely wrong. Bad doctors should not be defended by the Medical Society. Likewise, horrific lawyers are not supported by the Bar Association. Therefore, Special Self Interest Transportation lawyers like Jim Aloisi whose most questionable track record should not be supported. Supporting the despicable proven transportation record are his Special Interest Colleagues shows self interest prevails at the expense of the common interest.
Any public relations attempts to give Jim Aloisi credibility only diffuses attention, damage control or cover up of his resume of sharing responsibility for the Massachusetts Transportation failure. The decades Aloisi failed self and special interest resume should have been the basis for his rejection to this position. Governor Patrick who recently appointed a so called Ethics Taskforce has clearly sent a direct message reform and integrity will not be part of his administration. Already, there were questions of judgment of Governor Deval Patrick as revealed in prior held positions for Texaco, Coca Cola, and a paid Board member and advocate for guilty home loan provider Ameriquest.
The issue of Jim Aloisi is all the facts of him being part of the special interest guilty or enabler crowd that knowingly have allowed the Massachusetts Transportation Calamity to what the state is facing today.
Aloisi is a giant in the culture of his mentor and advocate former Transportation Secretary Fred Salvucci who plotted the conspiracy of little or no accountability or oversight on the BIG DIG that gave us no bid cost plus Bechtel Parsons private managers with all the construction shoddiness that is an international example in inefficiency, waste and mismanagement. This led to the Big Dig going from the original $2.3 Billion to its current$23 Billion Plus. Recently, Aloisi voted as a member of the Massport Board to give Big Dig Parsons Brinkerhoff Managers a multi million dollar contract after all the carnage of wasteful public dollar spending and unnecessary human tragic suffering. The Aloisi questionable tenure as Turnpike lawyer was a disaster. Aloisi then being hired as a Turnpike private attorney with questionable billings ranging from $600,000 to $1,000,000 further adds to his lack of any credibility. All these issues with his campaign contributions to Governor Patrick and Beacon Hill insiders shows Aloisi stands with the special interests and not for the common good of the citizens of Massachusetts.
If Governor Patrick really wanted to resort to the past and history of what inefficiency, waste, and mismanagement that was part of the Big Dig, Tunnels, and Turnpike, he should have brought back the real manipulator that laid the real ground work for all that is wrong and went wrong for the past several decades in the Massachusetts Transportation infrastructure. That person is MIT Professor and father of the Big Dig, Massachusetts Road and Bridge failure himself, the real Transportation Secretary in or out of office Fred Salvucci and not wannabe protege Jim Aloisi.
The sole issue is the track record of the candidate. The track record of Aloisi is despicable and he should not serve. The original Turnpike and Tunnel Bonds were paid off years ago and the road should have been set free. The Turnpike was advertised of not to pay for the Big Dig that was to be paid with 90% Federal funds and did not leaving Massachusetts citizens responsible. The Massachusetts Legislature and Citizens were deceived. Federal Highway Funds for repairs to Massachusetts roads and bridges were diverted to the Big Dig under the Salvucci doctrine. The previous promised Gas Tax did not fix Massachusetts roads and bridges as also promised. Aloisi was in authority when the devious Salvucci was planning and implementing the conspiracy, silent, fully aware, and did nothing to prevent the Massachusetts Transportation Calamity we face today. Aloisi has lost the faith and trust to manage billions of Transportation Agencies Tax and Toll Dollars.
Jim Aloisi should not even been considered for Massachusetts Secretary of Transportation based on his Special and Self Interest Track Record that has been documented by many already in the media.

JAMES ALOISI, MASSACHUSETTS NEW TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY SIGNALS A NEW DEPTH BY THE ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNOR DEVAL PATRICK. HOW CAN PATRICK AND ALOISI STATE THAT PAST WASTE, FRAUD, ABUSE WILL NOT CONTINUE? THE CITIZENS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW.
December 23, 2008
The snow storm appointment last Friday of James Aloisi, Massachusetts Transportation Secretary, and all reported on him these past says it all.
All the effort of sincere Citizens and Whistleblowers to monitor and report on transportation waste, fraud and abuse is for nothing. Governor Patrick and Aloisi's Transportation Committee Chairs Senator Steven Baddour and Joseph Wagner will most likely only continue the past practices that led to waste, fraud, and abuse of Taxpayer dollars.
Aloisi is the poster picture of patronage, questionable government contracts, campaign contributions and Specail Interests that will most likely continue if unchecked. The Patrick Adminsistration has reached a new depth and all his talk and appointing a so called Ethics Task Force is once again stating to the citizens there will be no reform efforts.
Massachusetts needs another WARD type commission that came about during the government center scandal to get the real facts, precisely pinpoint blame for current failures to see where the monies went before any toll or gas tax increases. The time is overdue for real accountability and oversight that guarantees no more waste, fraud, and abuse of Federal Highway Monies, Toll and Tunnel Collections, or Gas Taxes.
