I talked to Mary Connaughton who attended Monday’s Charlie Baker event
When she told me that there had never been an auditor in the office of auditor I was thunderstruck.

A Sarah Palin question for the readers…

On MSNBC you are actually getting people talking about the power of Sarah Palin. On Morning Joe, on Chris Matthews people are acknowledging her power in the GOP and her ability to get the nomination if she wants it.
The question is. Are they simply acknowledging facts or are they promoting her in the hopes that she can be beat by Obama?
In fact lets have a poll

I talked to Chris Resmini at the Charlie Baker event on Monday:
If we are going to change Massachusetts we need to support these first time candidates when they emerge. You will also note from his facebook page that Chris has been active in attending events and supporting his fellow republican candidates.

Hey Union members: That’s 88 Million that won’t be in your pension fund

But don’t worry the SEIU et/al care about their members money. Honest!
The two labor organizations say they have a combined $88 million or more to deploy in this year’s election cycle. It’s not clear how much of that money they will pool together.
So while your pension funds are rickety your leaders are dropping 88 million in an election cycle to try to save the Obama majority in the house and senate. Michelle Malkin nails it big time.
As I’ve noted over the last two years, it’s going to take a bottom-up revolt by disgusted rank-and-file members to stop the political raid on worker dues.
In the words of Thomas Jefferson: “To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
Of course if the union steward decides who works, in a bad economy maybe they don’t dare raise their voices, but until you clean up your own house, expect more of the same.
