Governor Patrick talks about the grim irony of recessions that charities and nonprofits see a drop in donations and help just when the demand for their services is on the rise. There are simple things we can all do to help.

in Worcester today
to announce $17.8 million in federal stimulus funding for the
Commonwealth’s fire and police departments. This
funding will eliminate dangerous understaffing and give our police and
fire departments the resources they need to keep our residents safe.

I can't believe some of the comments written. Are you guys living in a bubble in Mass? Do you realize the economic situation around the country? Cuts have had to be made everywhere. Mass is actually doing a lot better than most states around the country. Be glad you are not in NY, Cali or Rhode Island for that matter. Romney, Bush and company got ... See Moreus in this situation in the first place and Obama and Patrick are left to clean up to clean the disaster and deal with all the criticism from you guys. Do you honestly think Cahill or Baker will do a better? Both those guys are jokes. Gov Patrick you are doing a great job despite the circumstances. Wish you were governor of NY. Keep up the good work.

Deval Patrick Good news from the Globe today - the Massachusetts
unemployment rate saw its first drop in over two years last month. Governor Patrick is cautiously optimistic
that these numbers reflect what we have already been seeing – that Massachusetts
is poised to recover sooner and stronger than the rest of the country.

bit.ly
The Massachusetts unemployment rate fell last month for the first time in more than two years, plunging nearly a half-percentage point as employers trimmed payrolls by just 900 jobs, the state Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development reported today.

@Hanicks... what does that have to do with the drop in the unemployment rate? Sounds like more employment opportunities with a cleanup.

Mr. Johnson: This is what it has to do with it. On Patricks Wall you can't post since he filters it. So you have to place comments after his. We believe you should read the link given:

As you launch your campaign, we will aggressively expose your neglectful actions that is inhumane at a highly populated hazardous waste site. Society can not afford corrupt politicians in power, that allow children and families to be exposed to toxic agents that cause disease and death. You have ignored those that have reached out and asked you for help!

Why do you want someone that has a self interest to build a bridge over a state highway. Building on state property is the state's job. This project is just what we need in spending, the projects that will be created by the bridge is what our state needs. The money for this project is to be spent to create jobs and more jobs because of it. To use ... See Morethe money for repairs for existing bridges is a waste of the money targeted to expand our economy. The past govenors spent money this way and that is way jobs and people moved from the Commonwealth.

This is an insult to the citizens of Massachusetts and an obvious quid pro quo, as the article suggests.

It looks like your staff finally decided to officially do away with the Foundation Budget Review Commission that is required under ch 70 sect 4 of the MGLs. At least that is what Kendra Medville told me. What other statutes are you going to ignore?

Deval Patrick In August, the Governor demanded a frank review of the condition of the MBTA - an issue that previous administrations have been content to leave uncovered - and demanded transparency and accountability for the people who rely on the T to get to work and school and home again. That report was announced today and you can find a copy of it at the link below.

John, if you're taking pix of your dog or your kids that will restrike the pose, that's great. LOL Otherwise, at these events, a Governor or President isn't going to rewalk their steps after shaking hands with others. You just keep snapping. I've got pix of the Governor with my son, but, they aren't ALL flattering!!

Excellent initiative however sounding like the broken record the 28000 residents still stuck with UNITIL and paying the 2nd highest rates in the ctry.as well as having regular outages on blue sky days, are hopeful that someday we won't be forced to deal with UNITIL as our utility provider. In the meantime please let the DPU we are now into "late" Fall:) winter comes soon.....
