Some justice and campaign donations,
For those who have followed this blog from last year, former Middlesex County Registrar of Probate, pleaded guilty of stealing more than 100,000 dollars from his campaign fund and his work place machines. He could get 302 years for his crimes, but will likely do 10. At 40 k a year to keep someone in prison, we will spend another half a million making sure he's feed and has a roof over his head.
Sal Dimasi has new charges leveld against him... exstortion. Look for him to be convicted of thsi also along with the other charges already leveled.
The ineffective, polarized and politically motivated Mass Pike Board will cease as on Nov. Let history be the judge, Alosi is quoted as saying. It can only help those of us who live west of the city, I say.
Ken Lewis, Bank of America CEO, has been ordered to make available documents relating to the Merril Lynch deal from the NY AG. He (Lewis) has said he will resign as CEO in the coming months, he has also agreed to pay back a million or so in pay and will not take any pay for this year. The rub hear is that he and some high powered administration people made the deal happen with Merrill, which, will implicate Bernacki and others. Look for Lewis to be charged with fraud in the coming months and It's my guess he will be convicted and do some jail time.
We may be in the midst of the worst financial times since the early 70's, but some of the well off eleite and politically connected are contributing heavily to the campaign coffers of the Senate hopeful's. Coakley leads the D's with 2.1 million, Alan Khazei 1.12 million, Capuano with 343,000 and Pagliuce with 203,000. On the R side, Brown has raised 169,000. The majority of the money is coming from Mass..... someone's got enough money to throw away on political races.

You have a valid point Jim. Many seem to have money to contribute to campaigns. Think about how much good they could do with that money if they donated it to a homeless shelter or a food pantry instead of to a currupt political machine.
Justice? This is not justice. These people continue to get away with so much more than they have to pay for. There is no justice for the rich, the elite, or the politically connected in this state.
Coakley is the leader in a race full of want to bees who have no experience and no character. The fact that she is the leader is a crystal clear comment on who makes up the field. No one with smarts, ethics, or ideas runs for office in MA because those people would not get elected here.
Read back through all Pillsbury’s postings here people. He has been telling us over and over and over again about how bad the people running the show are here in MA. None of this news should come as a shock to anyone. This is that status qoe in MA. He has been keeping us informed and educated on this stuff. The question now is what are we going to do about it?
