Nothing says "Together we can" like a state funded gazebo!

Sudden Stop comments humorously on Deval Patrick’s first executive decision -- to restore ALL of the massive 1.7% state spending cut recently made by the outgoing Governor:

Mr. Patrick succeeds in showcasing the first decision with some real political polish--not a talent I admire, but praiseworthy nonetheless. Overturn those mean ol' Romney vetoes (It was a campaign stunt; we didn't like him anyway). If the revenues hit the skids, borrow from the Stabilization Fund (like the Legislature wanted to do from the beginning), and allow every Legislator his Pork (make no enemies over this early and insignificant matter).

Together we can.

Braintree gets its $100,000 Gazebo because nothing says "we can" like a state funded gazebo!

It sure is a good thing Massachusetts has a stabilization fund to cover vital spending in tough times like these!

(See the link above for background from the Boston Globe on Braintree's desperately needed gazebo, which was so thoughtlessly axed by a heartless Republican seeking higher office!)
