" Nobody to -- the governor and with Deval Patrick on Boston's Paul revolution. WTKK."

" Welcome back and six point nine -- ETK -- Last round. Asked the governor because regardless from the come by next month run for reelection as. And today -- speaking of reelection one. You've said in the we -- I'm obsessed with the obesity you've got this whole thing go on with the kids with the and motion. -- in -- the the BMI thing the menus with a cal results -- stuff you said I was is heavier fat as a kid you mentioned your problem to -- from midfield says they understand that viewers and email were overweight as a child go I would like to know how you manage your growth to be healthy adult. Without government intervention what's the answer there after."

" It requested. I had to you know I -- more active. Became more active. Idea data from the TV. We didn't deal gains and all that all of that stuff and India the government isn't gonna solve this problem -- that the parents and others built. And children. Who are learning from the parents and other adults that healthy choices but since there is so much interaction -- With government certainly kids in schools and and so forth and I think that menus and cafeterias and moments that that we do rappers."

" Two more quick things graduated income tax you're an Arlington town meeting you mention it is something -- we looked at online I didn't bring it up you -- Statehouse news service to rest about an interview yes or -- what's the were you -- that. One of the as everybody knows I assume one of roughly a handful State's twelve states the does not have a personal incomes that's right."

" And we have area and our constitution requires a flat tax I wish we had a graduated income taxes I think it's fair I think. You know people who make more can contribute. More and take a little -- of the burden -- working people. And I think that's. That's a concept that -- and it's a constitutional change so that's a pretty. Pretty heavy lift but I'm occasionally ask what do I think about. About a graduating contacts I like the context concept. Of me I'm graduating."

" with the great civic legal and again led the effort in the mid ninety's the -- rendering those ministers. I think is the same apologists 222. -- Marchers I heard referred -- it's is impeach and yeah I -- 7129. McCutcheon a governor back to the polls. Alexi. Thomas calling. He's now Tommy you."

" Just thank you call -- Saturday at least. But that's okay I am curious because -- I mean why the trial court for help them contract for one year here yet to receive it -- The states signed off on a year ago. These -- like -- senators and the speaker had a problem and not to raises and the state problem he what offer trial workers it's."

" Well if I know you're if if I'm right about what I think you tell you that Tom this is the the funding of the contract that was approved by our office in the funding comes from the legislature. And and I think has not been so far supported do we put in. -- budget amendments. Enough money to fund the contracts that have been agreed to because they think that's that's -- responsibility in the parameters for those. For those. Countries at least four executive branch. Workers hired are set by yes I don't think that. -- of the parameters set I guess for the trial court."

" I I'm not Europe but all acknowledge it last year they do attempt toward agreement on a brilliant new three year contract and -- Optional which now open a year that -- yet to receive the races that we're given and contract and it just yet if there's a -- track there I'll in the state not they are."

" Well mine you know like I said for the contracts that have been agreed to we have asked the legislature to fund them. Most of them have been funded it most of them have been agreed to and very very modest. Levels I think 01 and something like that it was at parameters that we put after the executive branch naturally it was. For the trial court and when I concede now Thomas and you know collier written senator and ask them to move on. Thank you so much political governor. -- yes and we have -- what's the Bob is calling from Marlboro Bob about."

" I got I'm okay you I think we are pretty much realized that Ball State coffers are count covers a pretty much -- notable speech. And I questioned Hewitt have you pursued her inquired as to how come nobody it's an anti but the deeper problem. Now I noted there are -- taken to court twister last week. There's a whole woman either lost -- house and Pittsfield Westfield. In every town I can't just flooding every count on -- flooding in combating. And it's Arabic or rounding out covert people's homes being flown except except being blocked."

" It can 1996. People pain."

" Well right out the count to Spain that they mentioned earlier limited foreign. --"

" Colbert in people's yards flooding."

" Have you address mr. park the anybody about this surgery being that we can do truly need to count weakening in power in money."

" Bob I have an interest in what what should we be doing. Is this is this about the ability to trap the beavers was -- a law as well. Question that's happening -- the ballot question -- prohibited -- or something right."

" Is that it is not. Massachusetts. Factor and I mean to honor."

" People --"

" He's taken eaters are winning. So what's the deal governor of the interview well I'm asking Bob about what you what he's saying and override the we just checked out an initiative each student. I think our Marjorie."

" Fishing and thank you in the governors get together and you Activision game and allowed them to issue licenses. Jet -- do you -- you know carte -- Trapped for everything but in think you're actually taping people's property including their -- people are losing their -- any illusion septic system it's condemn."

" How about governor Angus of it look at that. So yeah. The beavers are. He and governor you you just did three pretty major reforms signed a budget got generally etc. you wake up you see these polls the come on a week ago to have universal that he -- when you know well former turnpike -- ran for governor before. Within a few points Shirley Bailey was my absolute. Favorite person to be in the campaign we -- yeah.

With a man on whether he's going to not going to be in the GFT. --"

" Well I'm first. Polls for today for an election in eighteen months twenty months. And hurled it important and my job right now. Is to be guided by the end of the information and conscience and try to make decisions in the best interest that now that's what I do every day I support them. That fact is that the times in the time living in in the times and governing in their. Really nothing but tough choices among miserable options down and makes them. And you know Utah in my -- as in the earlier that them. And up the schools and yes some things and and we've been working with them but that's that's that I'm not that this respects it's not about. You know occurring favors of that trying to do what is best for the company. And if I do what I believe in my heart is best for the -- and I try to do it -- In the election take care it's. And if if people want that in government and give me another four years that they want -- nine after respect picture element notes. He's kind of plastic and managers in Houston thank you -- before its drive for everything -- to take."
