#1 We stand ready to defend our phoney baloney jobs.

#2 I hung out w/ some state engineers last night. The stories they were telling were absolutely frightening, all the way back to the Fred Salvucchi days.

#4 (Amorello) rebuffed requests that he step aside - even after state lawmakers urged him to accept a lesser role solely as an authority board member. Amorello has thus far ignored demands from the governor to step down.

I'll translate to Massachuettsese. Negotiations are in progress. Give me the same deal as Billy Bulger, and I'm off to Florida, never to be heard from again.

#5 Lock him out of his office, recall him, fire him.

There should be no negotiations, especially if Romney has higher aspirations.

#6 OR

Let him keep his office, but romney should call the chief of police, tell him to get 20 of his healthiest off-duty men to meet him at Romney's office, tranport them over to Amorello's office and move everything out.

Let Amorello have his office and nothing else.

#7 Living in Mass and knowing one of the engineers I can make two salient comments...

1) As much of a hack as Amorello is, he wasn't in charge when this work was done.

2) A significant amount of the construction budget and some important contracts were funneled to Billy Bulger erst while head of the "Irish Mafia" and Mass Senate President. Oh yeah, his brother Whitey is #1 on the FBI most wanted list.

This is typical Democratic corruption and not a surprise to anyone, though the consequences were more dramatically tragic.
