Wrong 4 Times In Only 3 Sentences

Massachusetts State Rep. Angelo Scaccia (D-Boston) describes a bill granting a special retroactive state-funded pension to former state representative Michael Ruane:

“It's fair. It's just. It's equitable, and it's the right thing to do.”

Read the whole article. This bill perfectly epitomizes the Beacon Hill Old Boy network that feeds off our state's one-party system of politics. The Globe and this blog have discussed this bill before. The bill’s passage will raise the profile of state pensions as a campaign issue. That will benefit Tom Reilly some, but Kerry Healy more.
