Un-elected MA Health Connector board members "censure" Cahill

"why are these UN-ELECTED, appointed board members allowed to just spout off partisan criticisms? " (5.00 / 1)

Hell, Joe - why are any of us on RMG able to do so either?

Because we all have the right to free speech and expression!

When Mary Connaughton let the public know about Turnpike abuses - where was your criticism? (I'd say Christy, too, but don't want the Baker Brigade trashing the thread)

BTW - ARE they elected SEIU thugs?  They DO hold elections.

Anybody can censure anything, Joe.  Thanks for the SEIU notification, so we can consider the source, but as board members, they almost have a DUTY to speak out, even if you don't agree with them.

Mary had a little more grace than to simply name call (0.00 / 0)

They went after Tim personally calling him "ignorant" instead of addressing his argument. I'd say they were put on the board to serve, not act as political operatives to hatchet job opponents.

Then your objection is to style, not substance. (5.00 / 1)

You asked if it was appropriate for them to comment as unelected people, not if they should do so politely.

They're DEMOCRATS - what do you expect, that they would offer a reasoned appraisal instead of pit-bull liberalism?

More Than That (0.00 / 0)

Whoever these people are, they are using their supposed "positions" to give unearned weight to their words. They are not commenting as Dick or Jane, garden variety shmucks. They are commenting as Mass Connector trustees, whatever the heck the qualifications for that were.
It may mean nothing to us, but it sure might sound impressive to the unobservant.

He's handsome...oh wait (2.67 / 3)

Ok sorry cheap shot, but that mug has to go...I beg the editors of RMG to please just remove that picture. UGH!

Anyway, on the issue of health care anyone else notice that the Baker canons have been particularly silent this week? I mean I got one "research brief" from MassGOP that was Hi-sterical in just how pathetic it was.

It seems to me that Charlie must have holla'ed at Nick Connors and told him, "Yo Dawg, healthcare executives are making it rain hundred dolla bills on me like I am a video ho in a Jay-Z video. I bet this Health Care business is going away so just let Tim Cahill run rough shod over our campaign for as long as this campaign is going on."

You beat me to it (0.00 / 0)

I was just thinking, that is the ugliest dude I ever saw in my life.

We should keep in mind that because they are un-elected hacks for the Admin, nobody really gives a crap what they said or what it was about.  Except the press of course cause they tried to fling some mud.  Typical for MA though, no substance.  Just he's ignorant which is ridiculous cause he's watching the money fly out the damn door.

I am wicked awesome!
