It must be nice to have friends like Therese Murray

Just ask the Hayhurst family, which can now continue its tradition of sending sons into the Boston Fire Department despite bottom-of-the-class test scores, thanks to some meddling by the state senate president, who, last we checked, doesn't actually live in Boston. Oops, we see Tom Menino and the Boston City Council also worked to get the Hayhursts preferential treatment.

TJIC is none too pleased:

... If government fire depts are going to exist, then they have to serve all citizens equally. Positions belong to the commonwealth, not to Therese Murray to dole out as gifts to her "family friends". ...

Actually, he has some harsher words, involving what Murray could do with a few feet of rope and the State House roof.

David Bernstein reminds us this is not the first time Murray helped out a friend get around pesky state requirements for something:

... It's quite a campaign slogan -- Terri Murray: champion of the ineligible contractor and the unqualified firefighter. ...

Seem to remember a whole bunch of language
like "change the culture on Beacon Hill"
and "No Ordinary Leader" from Deval last
fall, during the campaign. I'm shocked,
SHOCKED to see that he supported this bill:

"The Hayhursts were also supported by Mayor
Thomas M. Menino, the Boston City Council, and
Governor Deval Patrick."

Is this what he meant by "the policies of inclusion"
and "together we can"?
