" six to ten."

" Tourney talk about the ways. In which Governor Deval Patrick. Has come -- illegally ignored every one of its campaign promises. -- The most startling to me as when it comes to public safety today -- 300 state troopers who wanna avoid. Huge. Increase in -- health insurance and perhaps layoffs -- at the playoffs there was actually rumors going around that the reason. Colonel mark Bellini. Is not. As the head of the Massachusetts state police that he did everything he could this fiscal year the Steve off. Any sort of layoffs. And he doesn't want to be successful and the timing fiscal year which is acceptable to me. Because we talked about -- countless positions. Created under the Patrick administration in the wasteful bureaucracies like the commonwealth war. Two point five million dollars to run an agency that oversees state workers who -- volunteer. One day a month on our. They get paid that's not the true spirit if you state employees to -- 1 AM on Saturday without any. -- one day a week. One name excuse me get paid Ford is not -- it's crazy and we need two point five million dollars for that bureaucracy. I was one of two Republican candidate for governor. Told -- denial of the story that he wants that 10%. Pay cut. For all state employees. Aren't you received a pay cut because an old attack. And they've demolished and -- And they have taken away please -- and replace them with flag terps. Flag and -- instead. He wanted ten cents. They cut frosting it's that would mean his neighbor and talking about about Patrick neighbor of course -- Harrell. Take tempers off of his 120000. Dollar you know showed job. -- who still works at Harvard University a private sector. You make 151500. Dollars a year you make 10%. And that it's not a bad right there and here's Christine I was until that mark welcome --"

" Thank you Michelle congratulations on the new -- set up that. That the radio station I think you know you're you're going to be much much more around visibility and that's thank you for that."

" Well thank you -- because really I have to ask you because we're gonna talk about this a little bit more well. -- these are bills coming out of the Massachusetts legislature make you wanna hang. Our head against the wall I really think that we should hold these lawmakers accountable in some way the wasting our time. Its latest bill from Byron rushing to create job. That we can't afford when it -- this -- we we are talking about a shortfall of 242. Million dollars. It in. -- revenue shortfall of 242. Million. -- rushing is filing a bill that he wants to hire us a bureaucracy of packs. To look back into the history of Massachusetts and flavoring to see who profited. It's right up there with like you know unionizing homing pigeons."

" Well. There were some people that the profit but the country lots 500 it's. By young men it mostly men expected to fight the civil war and to word it. Did to do the right thanks so you know that that's you know we we have to bring these people back in the planet earth. They get them really focus on the fact that. Once you can count it it's over and when when when they raised the taxes the sales tax the tax on. A lick her at all and we get a shortfall of 243. Million dollars and one not just one month. Because people have lost confidence in their government. Still looking for ways to short circuit this thing and whether they buy on the Internet. Maybe Internet sales so they go into New Hampshire 00 or an underground economy would pottery and everything they suggest."

" Lawmakers who voted for the alcohol tax and voted for the sales tax increase the shopping at the packing yet. --"

" Yeah it's it's it's it's -- real real joke as to what is going on but the jokes on that because this setting up the cities and towns. To take another big hit on local aid which will devastate these these. That it without most of."

" To see as a professional Telus would local aid cuts mean it means less police offices last five fighters less teachers. You know street liked it won't be turned on at least it won't go to rock hammer."

" everything you get your property tax is it's a product of local aid okay. And then once that number I declined to and it's been declining. It is really what most cities and towns. Our our local aid levels that are 2000 to two in 2002 to 2003 levels. There's no business entity institution you name it. They can survive. Under constraints like that so they are closing. Services at the local level they charging you more. This led to allow your -- to play. To extracurricular activities but single or do a lot of things. But there's no sense of urgency in the Patrick administration. To do what they have to do and I've been I've been had a 10% cut in state workers since Santa Barbara in the 2006. --"

" About when he talks about cuts to local lead there is never talk about cuts to his staff has never talks about the lawmakers maybe get rid of one of 34 of five people like Carol in -- we see who's that in Antioch that the state house the six months. Doing nothing. With the title chief of staff there's no talk of getting -- her getting rid of the of the loser hacks that do nothing. All they talk about -- cuts to the people who paid attack is and that's us so what they want media did as a taxpayer he's Boston. Is to -- the more people live on welfare my neighborhood and I'm gonna have less police protection. With the more people living on while there in my neighborhood in I can never spend my kids was if I have line to a school in my neighborhood. I mean it's it's of the ones getting screw."

" That they and and I gotta tell you you've you've you've talked about that the volunteer -- that he put together about look at if -- if -- state workers. One day off per month with with pay with paid to do charity work. There already. That there were already admitting. 5%. Up what they do when a month can be done someplace else although what doesn't have to be done. Or there at their -- just eat up if you just fluff right now so so they're taking one month. 11 I'm sorry one day per month which is that they only work twenty days per month right. So let's 5% that there admitting that they don't have to be did -- do the job and that -- part anyways so."

" That and and we have to pay for the acts to the -- is right this."

" Right right so so 5% is nothing. That they giving that up right now saying it I've been saying it now since 2006. We need to lay up 10% -- state employees. And you will not even know you won't even feel it when they do and the governor has got to work without a sense of urgency may not be."

" Different idea it really depends on who's the state employee at that I completely agree with -- and -- have to do in the best tools that the Boston Herald is under creative was the find -- web site right. Not tax dollars and -- you out. All you know at 3000 pages of it in you'll find lawmakers relatives. To do was to -- lighter. And I can tell you who should get next -- the people who are actually doing the job it's the people -- Are awarded no show jobs for holding the sign up for being. You know lucky in the --"

" Well that 5800 that are over a 100050000. That are opus 60000. So -- we're not talking about the plate. So as someone in this social services that really that they don't make any thing to begin with our right. We're talking about the stupid duplication of effort let you know agency after agency having the same. HI department stated that date the amount of lobbyists that they hire to lobby their own government they hire lobbyists. The PR firms that they -- The W of the white."

" Turnpike authority and you can speak to that -- personally look many. Times have we have -- these big money contract to people who under indictment by market --"

" Well look look at. I hope about Patrick really take this seriously because if we have sharp fall in November and December. And and there is no Black Friday around Christmas time or so or in November. That they're going to be a lot more cuts in the private sector because people will just not being able to afford. That the you know they've been able before to be able to afford hiring people are keeping people want to step because business will be that far down the tubes."

" K -- if we talk about. Laying people that we have to talk about pension reform read. For you off of the find hacked web site. Some of the pensions tax free pensions we are paying tax Massachusetts. -- this has -- 20000. Dollars a month. That is 232000. A year in tax free pension benefits in he graduated from the university. Are you retired from the university of Massachusetts medical school. Billy Bulger is pulling in 17000. -- on non. He makes. 197845. Dollar a year. Tax free and pension funds the list goes on here are three pages of people when making more than a 150000. All the tax free. Did you. Nothing."

" Well what what we have to do is we have to cap. The -- said about 75000 -- you should be the highest amount that's -- should be able to retire. From the state because the average -- state pageant about 26000 dollars -- So we we've really got to take that out. But we look what we also have to do is we have that the three best years that they that they I calculate the attention on Michelle all right. That just have to go back to what is the average of of the the compensation that they received over the years not not -- don't take the three highest years. Like a lot state legislators."

" You think parents and Randolph would be supportive of the idea that he. Randolph public school superintendent art than -- up. Who retired in 04 is -- in a 150 grand a year do you think the people of Randolph think that they got that bang for their -- The sky will collect a 150 -- for the rest of the stricken life along with free healthcare."

" And that's why I'm saying that they're once we get this anybody that comes in in my administration are tied by the state are on the go forward. What have to sign a waiver but did not going to be part of the state pensions system. -- we will we will not be able to. Hey these -- going forward if we don't start someplace and cut back him and my administration will cut back and they're really Michelle I'm running against three guys that Republican independent or Democrat. Who all of are ready it's someday. To collect a big fat. State pension I won't and don't want -- from my administration will in effect we're gonna cut. The government payroll in the -- right now I think Deval Patrick's said that his office. Their payroll and does that beat the franchise to run at opposite about eight point four million dollars we're gonna cut it data three million. I I won't have any state police protect protecting me. Right now the governor is the governor's -- sets up and state troopers doing that."

" All I know I know but you know what we're representatives when that their it would not rulers of the people what their representatives we have to be highly accessible. And we can't take these perks anymore and let me just idea about but I I -- Cuba law enforcement. The that the morale in that sector in this state I don't care what you're talking about local police state police you name it. Is is lower than -- you know lower than whale you know what I'm talking about yet it's I've never seen it is bad and."

" You believe did not -- secrecy in this is something that we. Really needs to be tackled. The Supreme Court this -- court here Massachusetts does nothing but -- aren't what you think he's -- who have already. Stopped cops protecting themselves in the public I think that stop and frisk searches are legal now who are they can't protect yourself -- name come hoops. Told CN Saturn Bristol county that you can no longer. Hold gang banging gun toting little life. On under the dangerousness statute you know it Steve Gloria with an -- provide a story from Massachusetts please weekly. That STC just ruled that cops can no longer use a drug dealer cellphone is evidence. Supposed to do so demoralizing."

" What well outside of work went terribly we've done -- we've taken a stand on this I am for the Quinn bill and I will fully funded an output at how -- that at. Right now we pay approximately eighty million dollars a year to illegal immigrants. They come here. We subsidize their health care the cost the commonwealth eighty million dollars that these people. That come here to -- the work of go to school and in availed himself of by educational institutions."

" Electricity when I was funny you -- bus and I paid my -- worked why can't they paid around -- work."

" Will they do and they shut. But we can't give them a subsidy relative to their health care subsidy of eighty million dollar yet right now. That's what I wanna take it and it's fully fund the -- Quinn bill this is something that. We we have a contract with law enforcement and we have to do it really. The whole thing it's really changed since nine elevenths that -- not just doing you know it traffic stops and doing government. A regular police were that they get a whole new set of challenges out there right now. Because of what has happened to this country it at 9/11 the impact of illegal immigration which is and -- incredible incredible. Challenge to the contrary to the state not. And that and that's -- we we fully support and I ain't gonna fully fund the Quinn bill."

" Well and I applied to that -- I do the question Acronis my listeners that we would askew here I am I infuriated. When people. May nineteen. There. Taxpayer funded position and values Martha Coakley as an example. She is allegedly the attorney general Massachusetts right now but we all know she's running a campaign. And I need to point and I believe I'm accurate insane as you sold to -- on the -- so that you could focus on running for governor is that accurate -- So that we have a -- baker quit his job. -- people who are are running for public office while maintaining that taxpayer funded positions -- to accept the ultimate."

" But I thought I'd actually say that I told my stores because I -- this state and federal governments. Could care less about small business all these -- The man that that they put on small business there's just no way. That a small business person can make it and that by I get a a great deal from -- cooperation they put all my realistic all my stores. And it was you know it just a great deal about but you'd you'd you'd cannot do both and Angela because it's something I shall be flipping. Two. Whatever whatever her pollster talent tells her. Relative to any of the issues here. Edged out that the states. That -- State's business will not yet done it will not be any investigation of the HMOs and health care industry on price fixing at all. None of that none of that will be getting done because shall be running for office."

" And that's my point is to meet this is simply not -- the people who are paying her salary."

" Well it did not look at just. Just find in track where that money is coming for for certain amount candidates via. It's the you know that the vested interest the special interest the elites in -- and and unfortunately. The people that taxpayers people got to go to work each and every day just to make it through the week. They will not there there's no one's speaking for them any longer to."

" I didn't think Barack Obama will flag at a luncheon to raise money if you --"

" Capacities looks that is that the when he -- for Deval Patrick."

" They'll -- the couple million dollars and one night."

" Yeah it'll cost us a couple million bucks to fly in here to thank you Christy and I know."

" Weeknight six to -- ready 69 Boston's dog."
