When policy wonks get mad
Deval Patrick came out of a meeting with Therese Murray and Bob DeLeo and said he angrily wagged his gubernatorial finger at them for failing to squeeze enough reform and money out of state transportation agencies. Murray replied:
I'm a little confused. He just gave us a spreadsheet, and we said we'd go and look at it.
You do that, Ms. Murray. See if you can miss the angry red borders around all those cells.

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. ...
