Jon Chesto explains how it's the work of Ray Rogers, the guy who tried to derail Deval Patrick over "killer Coke." This time, he's working for an IBEW local.

They're also running protests in front of the state house
I was wondering who those guys were. They have very well-drawn brochures, so I assumed they had hired a professional outrage firm.
I think I liked Ray better
when he was destroying the looms to protect the weaver's guild....
Talk about your failed ad
Talk about your failed ad campaigns. I had no idea this was about construction jobs, and now that I do, I am not inclined to look favorably on the IBEW. Sorry, guys, avoiding you is not "looting", especially if you throw around accusations like this.
Billboard at Broadway and Galileo?
I was surprised they let that stay up so long, right in a biotech neighborhood. Getting that location was impressive.
Graphic design-wise, it didn't seem intended to *appeal* to biotech or MIT people, but to be a gaudy, embarrassing protest for passers-through.
Wicked Local Cambridge
WL Cambridge has what appears to be an opinion piece: "Union paints leaders of biotech expansion as fat cats"
how long before...
How long before Rogers spontaneously starts mutating into a chipmunk? Don't want to anger those biotech folks... :)
