HOLYOKE SOLDIERS HOME AGAIN UNDER ATTACK BY ANOTHER GOVERNOR BE A REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT.....WHAT CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTER, POLITICAL PROVIDER OR CONSULTANT WILL NOW DO THE JOB OF PROVIDING THE SERVICES?

Wake Up Massachusetts Citizens.

This is another grab by another administration be they Republican or Democrat, These decisions are made by temporary political appointees who are part of the revolving door of government. They come from the private sector when their candidate wins, back to the private sector when their candidate leaves or loses. Many times to those companies they regulate or give out contracts or awarded previously while temporary in state service.

With all state management political appointees hired without a merit system these are the actions citizens continuously get. The decisions made by those politically appointed will not be held accountable in the future. They will be long gone. Just provide a mirage or narrow minded piece of typed BERNIE MADOOF DOCUMENT to reportedly save money that the legislature, media, and uninformed citizens will be gullible to believe and not verify.

Massachusetts State government is not working. Compassion, Care, and Concern are gone. Our State Government has failed to be a provider of services. Massachusetts is a buyer of services from the un monitored vendors, providers, consultant, campaign contributors that have made our state budget process a failure. With little accountability or no oversight of expenditures, the Massachusetts Taxpaying Citizen has been fleeced.

MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR PATRICK ADMINISTRATION AND UNION BOSS ALLIES GOUGE, ELIMINATE, AND TAKE BENEFITS AWAY FROM CAREER UNION STATE EMPLOYEES. STATE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO DOWNSIZE AND TRANSFER STATE DELIVERY SYSTEM TO MORE EXPENSIVE CONSULTANTS, VENDORS, PROVIDERS, AND CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS.

Shame on UNIONS BOISSES OF SEIU 509 and AFSCME

Once again the so called public employee union bosses continue to sell out to their endorsed political candidate at the expense of the career state employees struggling to provide services with taxpayer dollars. The union bosses continue to promote by inaction of starving state agencies and allowing their membership to dwindle. The Union Bosses are too allied with consultants, vendors, and providers that have raped the taxpayers, legislature for too long and are unaccountable trying to organize them while the delivery system fails. Apparently dues are dues for the union bosses to play politics and their dedicated membership are expendable.

Governor Deval Pattrick Threatens State Employee Cuts While insuring His Political Appointments Are Safe! That is an outrage. The place where there are the real Savings which could be at least $750 million to $1.5 billiuon+ Alone In The State Budget. .....Massachusetts Non Profits, Not For Profits, and Foundations Must Now Clean UP Their Own Management Greed As What Was Exposed In The Banking And Insurance Industry.


Government,Foundations, and Citizens all struggling in our nation's failed economy caused by unmonitored corporate financial greed and failed government oversight must show additional compassion and dig deeper into their pocketbooks. Compassion, Care, and Concern are needed to guarantee what is funded is precisely spent as intended.

However, the time has come that the non profits and not for profits be held to a higher standard also. Greed CEO salaries.golden parachutes, fat expense accounts, and interrelated sweetheart contracts must be addressed. Direct care services advertised must be maintained with need sincerity and actually being provided as funded.

Estimates not taking in consideration the $$$$billions in private giving accounts in the state budget alone if waste, fraud, abuse corruption and doing proper oversight could recover $750 Billion+ to $1.5 Billion + alone in State budget Expenditures by holding the non profit and not for profit Human Services Industrial Complex were properly audited and monitored.
THERE IS NO FINANCIAL CRISIS IN THE MASSACJHUSTTS MEDICAID ACCOUNT CONTRARY THAT IS BEING REPORTED. THE REAL PROBLEM IS A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND OVERSIGHT IN EXPENDITURES. WASTE, FRAUD, ABUSE, INEFFICIENCY, AND MISMANAGEMENT MUST BE ADDRESSED.


There is no financial crisis in the Medicaid account. Those needing services, concern, care, compassion, the legislature, and taxpayers continue to be ripped off. The Patrick Administration like previous Democratic and Republican Administrations come and go and nothing is done.

Stop the Crying and Do Something. Those groups like the New York Union Local 1199 who get dues monies to represent their members for political campaigns and courting the politicians with no results are going in the wrong direction. The embattled AARP who sell insurance and allege to represent seniors do little or nothing. The Home Care Federation of sellers and recipient of dollars know better.

Year after year those needing services continue to be battered. Instead of cuts or more and more dollars being demanded address the issue. Solve the problem that no one is addressing for these federal and state tax dollars.

Will one of you so called advocates Blow the Whistle that Federal, State, and Citizen Watchdogs have been pleading about for years that is not addressed and the alleged problem will be on the path to be solved. Inefficiency, waste, fraud, abuse, transparency, oversight, and accountability must be addressed head on. I have seen savings proposed by credible watchdogs to be estimated from ¾ of a $Billion to close to $2 Billion.

I challenge to be corrected and will correct my comments if proved inaccurate.

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. The shadow Massachusetts Government of outsourced employees from bought services that are never revealed or discussed should be the first place to start along with their executive perks and salaries. 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.

THE MASSACHUSETTS FOSTER CARE SYSTEM CONTINUES IN CRISIS WHETHER THE DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS ARE IN CONTROL. NO OR LITTLE ACCOUNTABILITY OR OVERSIGHT RULES OVER THE QUESTIONAL OPERATION OF VENDORS AND PROVIDERS


Concern, Care, and Compassion must be the first priority for children in peril at all times in the Foster Care System.

The current Massachusetrts System of Foster care is in failure. Where there is failure in the current system is not addressed. There is waste, fraud, and abuse in several areas. They include questionable persons in peril themselves providing services profiteering from the system such as providers and vendors that have little accountability or oversight.

The state has destroyed its own safety net to provide direct services and is dependent of the monopoly of those who do provide services.

The columnist is right to highlight the true angels of mercy who provide the most compassionate human services. However, the columnist fails to address the broken system and offer solutions for the failure and profiteering exploitation the current system has become from Democratic and Republican Administrations that come and go ruled by Political Administrations and not Managers who manage.and maintain continuity no matter who holds reins of Massachusetts Government.
Response to Former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich current trip to Massachusetts where he criticized the State Republican Party for failure. He overlooked these facts


The Massachusetts Republican Party has lost its way. During the Dukakis era Republican leaders like Steven Pierce in the legislature focused on making government work and trying to route out inefficiency, waste, and management often building coalitions with Democrats in the legislature for the cause.

When the succession of Republican Governors in the 1990's and this century of Weld, Cellucci, Swift, and Romney only the faces of the Executive Branch changed with the same or more patronage waste, fraud, and abusefrom the Big Dig to contractors, consultants, vendors, providers. and the Human Services Industrial Establishment causing taxpayer rape with little or no accountabilitymas what went on during previous Democratic Administrations.

How can the Republican party be trusted now or agian?
