2. Some Charlie Baker supporter person on NECN today

saying Charlie is "going to cut welfare" and "not raise taxes"

and "favors charter schools over teachers unions".

I hate to be the harbinger of what we're up against in the next 4 years.

Yes, there's probably a couple dozen people committing welfare fraud in a state of over 6 million, where the budget for welfare from state funds is less than 1% of the total state budget.

And we have some charter schools that have, like many in the nation, failed to perform, but hire less qualified teachers and pay them less than union member public school teachers.

These are two reasons why that Republican dunce speaking on NECN voted for Baker?

Heaven help us.
