I found this on the Boston Herald Blogs and thought it was just too good not to post! Any wonder why Fred hasn't gone to court yet?

Endorsement wars
Posted by: Kevin Rothstein
How worried is Tom Reilly that Deval Patrick picked up Mike Capuano’s endorsement today?
Look what the Reilly camp just rolled out:
“BOSTON - Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Tom Reilly will receive the endorsements of 15 mayors at an event tomorrow in Medford, more than doubling the mayoral support received by any other candidate.”
One of those mayors is Boston’s own Tom Menino, an endorsement Reilly received months ago. Another interesting wrinkle: Everett Mayor John Hanlon’s endorsement of Reilly. Hanlon is closely allied with the city’s powerful school superintendent, Fred Foresteire, whom Reilly’s office is prosecuting on charges of having two school-bought air conditioners installed in his home. Read Reilly’s press release on the indictment here.

You've got that right, Richie. What Kevin Rothstein is highlighting sounds like horse-trading.
Whether you like Howie Carr or not, he did provide some insight about Mr. Reilly in a recent article. He called Reilly a "broom" for the politically connected. There's a reason why Cardinal Law sits in Rome today, and the AG very nearly signed off on a cheap date settlement on the Big Dig (according to Christy Mihos, the former Turnpike Board member and independent candidate for Governor). Read it here:

How is it, in a year long investigation that there were no prosecutions....that is, until the walls of the tunnel came tumbling down.
I wonder what it will take to get the AG to take Fred to court? I heard Fred was scheduled for October, AFTER the primary. Martha Coakley can't get elected fast enough in my book. We've had enough of the "brooms."
It took a woman's death in the tunnels to get this guy to move on it. Let's see where it all leads. |

| Tom Reilly is a complete lightweight and would be a disaster as governor, his choice of Marie St. Fleur as his Lt. Governor a woman who dosent feel it necessary to pay her taxes. Tom Reilly who also stated that "politcs is not my strong suit", who let Bernard Law fly off to Rome when he should have been indicted for keeping pedohile priests in the churches. Tom Reilly, a man who has been making over $100,000 per year for the last 10 years and dosent own a house. His recent ads are a disgrace, have no substance, no message and put you to sleep even though they are only 30 seconds long. The worst thing that could happen to the hard working, overtaxed, overtolled, and LEGAL TAXPAYING BLUE-COLLAR CITITZENS of this Commonwealth would be to put a Democrat in the Governor's office. Because whatever DEMOCRAT gets the corner office would just be a puppet of the two GANGSTERS in the Legislature Trav and Sal DiMasi. The same Dimasi who opened his mouth a few months ago and squashed the slot machine bill, which immediately put about 1600 people out of job. People in his own back yard. THESE POLITICIANS ARE A DISGRACE AND WE HAVE NOONE TO BLAME BUT OURSELVES BY KEEPING THESE PARASITES IN THEIR SEATS EVERY OTHER NOVEMBER. MIHOS FOR GOVERNOR!!!!!!! SIGNED: PAUL D. DOBBINS. |

| And we've had a succession of Republican Governors who executed the plans for the Big Dig - with billions of dollars in cost over-runs and one more dead woman as a result of shoddy workmanship. It was Bill Weld who put the non-engineer over the project - Jim Kerosiotis. Yeah, and then Cellucci kept him on, and after the cost over runs were revealed - Fat Matt was put on the job by Jane Swift. Yeah - after 16 years of Republican governors - haven't you had enough yet? |

| Court i agree they are all no good and Weld and Celucci are just Republican in Name Only(RINO'S) and Swift was even more over her head then as Fat Matt is now. But let us not forget that the parasites in the Legislature can override just about anything the governor does but they only do it when it suits THEM, they could care less about folks like you and me unless of course your last name is from a third-world hell-hole and you have no documentation and of course you dont speak a lick of English. Court do you think liberal moonbats like Barrios and Kennedy give a s**t about your property tax bill nearly tripling since 2003, the fact that gas is over 3 bucks a gallon and that you follow the rules just like i do, you get illegals running over cops, killing people and demanding we give them in-state tuition and even more handouts. WHEN DOES IT END!!!!! SIGNED: PAUL D. DOBBINS |

Hopefully it starts to end when Bush gets out of office.
Talk about a crew catering to the rich---Billions and Billions of dollars for a war that is to just make the BIG OIL executives richer and richer along with his and Cheney's other pals !
I know the Dems are nothing to write home about but this crew that is running the country now is actually scary.
Until we get someone in there that is concerned about the middle class we are all screwed BIG TIME ! |

justthfcts...I read you loud and clear, but don't kid yourself about Muffy (Healey) She's just more of the same. This woman went from city to town, actually telling the mayors and managers to RAISE property taxes during the state budget crisis in 2003, because she and Mitt were going to drop the ax on local aid. This is the same woman who - when told that the elderly wouldn't be able to afford the increased taxes, she replied:
In an interview with the Statehouse News Service published Monday, Healy said: "My opinion is that to extend tax breaks to seniors in order to keep them overhoused and isolated in the suburbs is not necessarily the right answer ... they're probably aging in homes that are too expensive or difficult for them to maintain and where the property taxes are larger than their fixed incomes. Plus, they may have three or four bedrooms and only be using one of them. There are families that need that housing."
So - ya can't blame just the "moonbats." As for the issue of the illegals - it's been a blast watching both Republican-controlled House and Senate dither on "immigration reform"...because their buddies in big business want the illegals in to deflate wages. So...neither party is getting it done for us, my friend....have no illusions about this crew. |

From Lou Dobbs, CNN:
The Bush administration in its first four years was responsible for 318 fines against employers who hired illegal workers, an average of fewer than 80 each year. That's down from 5,587 fines against illegal employers during the eight years of the Clinton administration, according to the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, an average of 698 each year. And the problem is getting worse; in 2004 only three employers received fines for illegal hiring.
Work site arrests have fallen even more drastically under this president. From 1995 to 1998, there were between 10,000 and 18,000 work site arrests of illegal aliens each year. But during the Bush administration, work site arrests fell to just 159 in 2004.
Apprehensions along the border averaged 1.05 million from fiscal year 2001 to 2004, according to the independent, progressive group Third Way, down from 1.52 million from 1996 to 2000. Border apprehensions have plummeted more than 30 percent, despite a doubling in the number of Border Patrol agents over the past decade and the rising number of attempted crossings.
