A Massachusetts citizen chronicling and commenting on the never-ending, jaw-dropping stories coming from Beacon Hill and other government offices. Please send in your examples and stories.
This isn't exactly pension related. But it's similarly smelly.
Martha Coakly is on WTTK at this very moment complaining that the legislature is not granting her office the authority that most AGs have to conduct ethics related investigations, including wire-tapping and subpoena powers.
I am not anti-pension or anti-state/city worker. I live in an area where I've seen a fair amount of crime-fighting by our police officers, and believe me I think they do a great job. Same with many other city workers. That said, when our government employees and officials milk the system, that pisses me off, and I see it (or read about it) just as often as I see the good works. This blog is a chronicle of the downside, but I will make an effort to highlight the good works that I see, too.
