Hack-O-Rama

Transportation secretary for Deval Patrick. And he's been in the news advocating the gas tax and you know various reforms in the -- Now in the interest of full disclosure I know both Jim and Carol -- Egypt to Mallory has been for a long while your essay in the interest of full schools used to start every sentence off that way at that you know everybody it's not -- No but I I've known -- always have quite a while I -- a hard worker. What I knew of her by reputation was that she was fairly diligent and you know Dieter work. -- I I thought Todd and you know whether it again -- read the story. That -- for a long long time she worked for the attorney general Scott to Marsha Scott Harshbarger. I think when he was still in office yes yes I question I thought she worked over the and then I think she may have stayed they would Tom Riley who was Scott Harshbarger success I think I -- you know I'm might be okay but the story Chris -- that can.

While we see according Google -- had -- Cheryl. Not a no show job and no work job where she went to the state because every day edgy as your title is chief of staff but she had no staff and -- reported to know what. That to operate Carol how we see. From collecting a 60000. Dollar state -- salary for six months until -- represented -- found her literally sitting in his new office and decide.

Putter -- to work -- if there's any good that comes out of this story it's that at least two people state representative Garrett Bradley from town by the hang -- situated area. And Cheryl Coakley Rivera from the Springfield -- area said hey wait a minute. I don't know what the understanding of the expectations were of this employee Carol what we see. But two she is going to she is going to be working this plenty of work to be done. And let's get to what.

But there's beautiful symmetry to the story prepare Rondell White -- Carol I'll only see going to work at the Statehouse in a you know one of those jobs that and handed out to people because they. Are related to the right people because they're bloodlines she's make it sixty grand a year but has nothing to do she sits in an empty office every day. And then you have budget well we see the secretary of transportation the state of Massachusetts. Who is calling for gas tax increase because of the horrible lack of funds it is this disconnected drives the rage in the state of Massachusetts right now. And there is apparently knowing and end in sight I assume that -- has one -- two reporters who look at this stuff. And it appears they could cover this kind of -- for the rest of their lives and their offspring could continue to cover than these stories and there'll be an endless supply.

In -- the tipping point that tipping point is finally reached when there's an accumulation of stores such as this so the pension stirs that we talked about last week Todd. All other episodes that you know lawlessness have become. Painfully. Painfully familiar with. As I read this I would have thought at first and I'm not quite sure because the story is it isn't quite accurate on this point. It seemed to Mayo would have guessed that Carolina Louise who had been assigned to handle constituent matters. For Richard compressed in the former state representative from Watertown who drop -- she went off she went over to become the registrar motor vehicle so we all know Rachel when she's been here but -- million times before Richards -- good very good registrar in my opinion. So she goes off but it that the people in Watertown and district still need to have somebody respond to their calls -- their they need to you know there which are already saying -- lost I would have thought that's what I'm trying to figure out from this story but it's not clear. That the assignment of parallel we -- to Rachel could trillions office after Rachel has gotten out she's got she no longer -- Was to handle constituent matters for the people who want to tuck who called the office and say.

While waiting for our new wraps while waiting for new -- new central title that things are in the transition it would have been a totally empty seat and that happens a lot that happens a lot so Todd vibrant movie I'll and we constituents to there's no sign that have risk based on whatever is written here yeah there is no sign that that happened and again Garrett Bradley comes along. Assigned to the you know taking over his new responsibilities and he says. Hey wait a minute what's this and he said nobody works in my office and nobody saw that might ought to let us they do work this story gets more interest yup. Because. You know they talk with us they represented Cheryl Coakley Rivera from Springfield a Democrat. Who says she had a period of time back in 2005. When Carol I'll Louise who was working for her. And she says her workers marked by absences and health problems. Beginning with a back injury the -- for several months now back injuries are always suspect because he can't prove whether they exist or not but -- at the same time when you have one I don't know knows an awful thing -- we -- know -- there was surgery we don't know whether there was anything we didn't -- it came weeks after -- Rivera raised questions about the accuracy of -- we -- time -- the plot -- a little -- a little -- his state -- didn't like. Which using performance wise and then suddenly out comes a back injury the relationship between now -- Coakley Rivera soured further after -- we -- a democratic state committee woman served as a delicate it is to Democratic Party conventions -- to -- What in Denver. During that period of time which he was out of work whether I was unable to work upset she's been she was able to attend to Florida Jews also body built one. Carolina we I don't well there's no report of that as. And then of course the good news is that Carol while we -- is 60000 dollar job with nothing to do those exits an anti office apparently every game -- 3% pay raise. And -- speak -- Leo cause hardworking and.

She's had to Leo when he I was asked about this said look this is all within the purview of -- speak in my office is undertaking a whole review of staff from their responsibilities so called and so and so forth and so on it is a horrible story no matter how anyone reads it that's why added to. The tipping point and that's -- say the revolution is take close all these stories -- come back to haunt. Any. -- reasonable reasonably diligent state representative state senator because people assume the worst about.

All of a while but we're getting -- all three of these every week so who eat it assuming the worst seems to be the rational approach rather than the cynical -- no I don't unfortunately while not unfortunate but I disagree with -- it really -- it is obviously to be at least. A handful there are three state representatives who are identified -- I'm not claiming that every cell is now in in raged with cancer okay I'm claiming there's a cancer I think it's fairly obvious to any bystander who's looking at okay general regarding these stories. And hearing about what's going on over time that there is a cancer in the way the government is managed theory is anger. And hostility towards the notion of tax increase is high when Jimmy's way and a great broad based statement that that's the way he's not -- managed. State that I -- to win I don't know and a very sorry not an accurate statement there are sick cancer inside of that body. Okay -- there is a cancer you know go to the doctor and say. All cells functioning beautifully so who's the -- chances also are so let's -- the two active state representatives company Rivera said. This person's work record is disastrous -- okay I'm sorry I don't know it's credible source you're obviously not credible and let's go to it's it's they represented Coakley Rivera -- says. There are people the state house who worked really hard and care about their jobs in the people that work for. But there's another percentage who pretty much do nothing for good portion of their work today and make very good. Salaries and benefits that's why we need reform we have to start cutting. Waste okay it's I was. Regulate that I'm an agreement with are there is no need not stipulate an agreement so we don't have to distract the conversation anymore by it revel in the fact that some people actually do their jobs at the safe house we need to focus on the fact center is an organization that allows that facilitates. The robbing of the people in Massachusetts so speak kindly husband and have several weeks he's not allowing it Garrett Bradley's been I don't know -- again he's not allow -- not a lot of minutes I would sit back and you can how much time you need to talk about all the good people in the building which is irrelevant to this discussion I'm just going to by the star in hello how long do you want to take I'll give -- time I'll sit back you can have the -- yourself how -- like -- hole -- Gloria all. -- The bodies it even though they aren't in the vast majority of the cells are still doing her job admirably -- so we gonna go chemo or radiation what are we gonna do both we're gonna do surgery on -- that's what little announcement retired after art literature talking about a revolution -- we have dreaded the filibuster of the revolution that no revolution will not be filibuster not a filibuster about you exit the revolution. The don't want collateral damage on people do. I know -- work hard. I don't cards are -- over the Statehouse to protect collateral -- many attacks would you like -- innocent people get -- what I like -- one week yet but you don't like it went -- people's lot and I want to make -- reckon it's it's irrelevant question while I like is when we get to the root of the problem. And exorcise the cancer from the diseased organism to what would you do the diseased organ is first we have to establish clearly what the problem is and you being a man of great wisdom about how that building operates a should be -- as a -- in the art or guide shows that come to the problem rather than throw in the word shroud. And on afterward -- out I want to get the the ones away irresponsible and tossed them like AIG and I want to make sure the ones who are responsible incompetent and a good public -- I want to make sure they don't get slotted by -- rebel assault you know what that's the prior -- building and they're not working every second to root out this evil that that is housed within the then they're part of the problem and they need to be right as well he's another healthy cells.

Mary called she couldn't on the air Todd you know she was in a hurry to get to work she wants to know federal ever admit the -- is screwed up. No idea I have been ever admitted it many many times whatever it is because -- knew it meant that -- they are wonderful people go to work every -- and do their best because someone let's discuss the long hot hot hot -- let's. He sells Mary Mary I assume missed elicited buried there is so much to be figure out there -- believable and we've tried we've a different people who try to fix different things over the years sometimes with success sometimes not. Let's start with the is hot hot -- How to evidence out give Marty era WR oil and comments on a stellar Kevin hey Kevin how I had -- going to be Colorado at. -- The heartache over the coverage unit is that is a great union elegant at a school -- proxy that is a charter school in West Roxbury don't say this -- jail haven't its admission -- the Roxbury -- aren't cabinet.

Hell of a right now there are more. Oh I hear -- you know. And -- out -- out of -- Larry in outlet. At all as to read it to you noted that. All there. The whole country are not think about eleven. The president economic divide. It will -- two radically democratic exit not the way. --

That's that is absolutely true blog automatically and I had fruit -- he could not he could not -- that's unfair you don't get a deal I would I was able -- much harder than -- hot hot hot as ever. They're mentally -- thank you can't say they have tenure here that embedded Astro pop 6172666. Feet six it is god -- I wonder he's got charged up today hi John would hit the revolution. Obvious or minority you -- you should have a headache eloquent harmful. Hot hot hot. John you brilliant smile by paid their debt and I have -- I would wait a -- today John eyewitnesses. Revolutionary. This is the temporary slowing me John what do you think we'll help me yes we help -- lists all the wonderful people go into such a fine job at the --

You know our yard -- on the -- guy I not say how your shoulder daughter BT carry a lot of these people -- You know. -- Well aren't required. And I just know. I'm April revolution you know talk. I -- it -- more acting like what the W -- sort of you know I'll join you know on the capital stock took a sign whatever we need to know bucket but we don't need radio issue we don't need you know we need we need decapitation.

No you're absolutely right John -- This is for you -- are -- yeah.

Or minority -- life that I had electrical and hey you screw -- all the hard work. Hey you screw you know bark yeah I got a lot of good good -- I hope your choice -- water because he carried a lot of -- people.

Hey he'll screw how hot -- nicely done -- that is quite enough of that I didn't say that to anyone this morning. And I'm not gonna say that you are right doll house. There is justifiable. Outrage and that's -- as a restaurant does -- WRKO revolution is a day closer it is time we are here today lists all the wonderful people the state house who work hard and he's not hot. Starting with the Israelis say the drum -- begin yeah disease disease will be the audience snoring. You've got to be kidding me about -- and I would target about a story that's in the front page of the globe -- the -- the front page of the metro section of the -- thank you for clarifying because everybody's diving for their -- and it's about the you know officials -- had a no work state job and so on and so forth and -- person in in in pain.

The president highlighted the story is one Carroll always he has had to taught -- everybody else I know parallel we see I thought you were to Scott Harshbarger for number yes but. She -- at the Statehouse apparently for a few years and made about the last six months or so made operated without any particular assignment assigned to. This it's this this gets too convoluted for everybody including me but assigned by the -- to speak speak -- to an office. With nothing going on really with the FAA office of state representative -- got the state represented about that office Rachel Cabrera and had gone on to become the registrar. And no indication that who's doing constituent work is so old now but may be a given too much of the benefit of the doubt I assume that's what she was doing but. The new person in that office state representative Garrett Bradley says hey wait a minute nobody showed up covenants and in my office mostly due to work. So -- has now put -- to work looking at stimulus projects in his in the South Shore area so. But it's a little late and it adds to its fuel for the fire the pension stuff we've talked about Todd. The issued a controversy around Deval Patrick and the appointment last week of state senator Marian Walsh. And people saying wait a minute in the midst of talk on tax of talk of taxes on as I recall at -- does soda. The gasoline sales and income tax all of those have been floated out as different trial balloons by different people people so wait a minute. Put your own house in order before you come take money out of my pocket I absolutely understand the sentiment. And I don't know how this happens I don't know why anybody would tolerated I'm glad that Garrett Bradley did not but that doesn't that doesn't have the story and I'm not trying to. I what I try to put I wash over the story he can't do. This stuff in builds up and up and up and finally that's why the word revolution just -- word of the day. Builds up in the people's anger is.

On the fact that you cannot trust the government -- more money because it's not able to handle money it has right now to mean when you look at somebody be at hired. Being given a job being assigned to -- office and there's nobody in that office nothing happens there. That shows an institutional management problem that either they're deliberately given jobs to people where they have nothing to do or. They don't know how to run their business. And in in fine to that point now you'd agree with me I hope I'm notes up in the form a question. Would you agree that speaker -- Leo has an obligation as well as an opportunity to set this type of practice right to corrected to a limited -- And you can't hold him responsible for what has happened under somebody else everybody in the building who had any awareness on any level that this kind of thing goes on. Is had to bear the responsibility is somewhat complicit it's just like way you know the discussion we had about Dianne Wilkerson a few months ago with who -- go to work every day. And and everybody was just acted like it was business as usual while we're sitting there watching pictures of her on TV stuff -- money in or Garcia and head down you know like everybody has a responsibility stand opposite the second which they did let's let them again let's speak really -- run that the amber for a period comets are made before they did. Canada at the point at which they were outlining her come in everyday or acting like she was normal human being just as they've done for eight years before they shouldn't have done. If you're going to claim. Don't that the proud -- of that which came before if you want to know what what's that fancy name we have from the state house. The the great just great and general court I know it's not a great general party used to be. And when you guys -- that word that phrase great general court York claiming a man -- Of equality and respect -- once or previous are going to hear wrap yourself in those clothes you can't allow this stuff to go on I agree you can't allow this stuff to go one so everybody's complicit if they know this has gone on. And we here. Day after day about somebody scanning something out of the state -- I disagree with you when you say everybody is complicit win people find out about this in Iraq at this there at least two were quoted I would point to -- rice said when they know this stuff has gone away below they have less than Toyota's us and it you like that yeah -- okay what are but there's hundreds of walking around all go to salt. You can what you think everybody is aware this thing I'm saying that -- just where did you weren't aware of people don't -- people to pass these grotesque amendments that allow people to collect heightened to pensions. Because they voluntarily went to a meeting once a year on their library trustees board. -- will we hear about story after story this a sickness up there then everybody goes along with the scamming the people I'm not sure that they had happened then how does what happened -- parallel -- its story after story after where two or three days a week died in -- just another story today a hundred people are gonna start -- off on the turnpike right toll takers -- last September. They haven't gotten one yet. How many months since September October November December January February march that's half a year and -- nobody fired yet that's why that's why the revolution is closer glance six point 72666860. Jim is thankfully in his oil Turkey's the only one we trusted drive on these and Jim is work and Hannity always is hey Jim good morning.

Morning I was preparing good morning. You know what I think so we will -- the bigger picture here. We're dealing with human nature and human nature it's left unchecked is gonna say whatever and page. And just like -- that your kids with an adequate job are. And they have that blank look on their base knew that some might say it occurred and anything else.

Opt opt spoken like a -- Jim not only spoken like a true parent body great great historian. And it ties in to the other we have only got no where volatility about wanna -- got a sack of relatives sent it out in that scenario Jim up. What's interesting about human nature is when your kid tells you they're not taken the cooking you're looking at them with a cookie and young in their hand. You duo -- on yourself show like maybe that's on the -- you know even if you look at the other -- by gadgetry and in my.

I can't leave my guys know the exact. Betancourt and here we're we're -- thing you know. Well that -- fifteen million or whatever amount of money it's again and the whole thing it basically it will doubts though. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and that's what you have.

You you've got HM I mean that's that's the point of this and that's why there is a connection between me AIG story and the game the president is going to try to trick us into thinking. That he's now suddenly outraged over this when it was his decision. It's the same thing with the fact that they can't fire anyone on the turnpike authority even though they said they're going to -- people starting last September nobody's been fired yet. It's the same thing. With though though the bad tensions in the -- its its like itself to Macy's staying into January into the new year so get scam an extra year benefits in his -- gets himself reelected to speaker ship even though he knows he's not going to serve why everybody seems to be and I know there are good people out there. Who are doing the right thing there are too many people are.

The reform as Barack Obama approached pledged to reform things. And anybody who steps back from an ally kind of like I rolled my eyes when I hear that because I've heard it two years and I'm old enough. I guess -- Why hopefully wise enough to understand that what Jim just said is absolutely the hot of the problem in the essence of the challenge. Human nature being what it is people will try to do what they can't you need checks and balances you need vigilant you need good reporting. A critic of the globe but this is a good story. This is a great story that she brings light to this situation this is an unacceptable indefensible situation six -- simple.

266 exceeds succeed Jeff and -- good morning to you.

Hey guys aren't going to have a good morning good morning. Personal -- they always correct their ways and read before or after they got caught whether an indictment in the taxes are all this stuff so not yet another all. Okay you. Got there was and it's just another rules and right now okay Tom everyday I do my job and I worked very very hard six days a week. I don't get mad at my blast that because he didn't say hey great job today. -- I get mad you know he gets ratified don't you don't you can't read these people distributed doing their jobs -- kids. To dig Beckham got a caller expressed and the whole government as a child and the child that calculus that still on a candy bar -- well you doin' good history so don't worry about it. You know I can't look at.

I'm the parent household Jeff publicly what they wait a minute Jeff -- the all the way on that -- I wouldn't you don't want your boss in your boss would never do what I hope. I kick the crap idea what you are doing a good job so what -- pointing out to Todd when he makes a blanket indictment he's very very good at at the blanket indictment. Our representative comes into the office and says who you what are you doing blah blah blah blah blah and there's no particular definition duties as they -- cannot sit him out much go to work end of story you've got though when you criticized the bad. You also have to stand up and say well good for that represented -- Garrett Bradley for just saying hey. This -- crap stops on my watch true -- this crap stops on my watch that's what he said. Does it really doesn't mean any time has to be spent praising people who do what they should be doing. On a day in which it's being revealed that once again were taken up the behind I would not by our elected if I was not even offer the comment the favorable comment at a profit on his behalf orange or Rivera's -- Except for the negative comment of condemnation of every one. In a detailed on the trouble is without the problems Romeo constantly the defense. --

Phobia they read good morning I'm calling -- talking about -- that were brought brought. I don't think it is important work but Mac from the government if you're an outlaw all bomber -- and all group have been traction AIG it. Earned in Bear Stearns and all the old school. There's probably. NE IG a B 2530 people got that billion dollar bonus that you -- at 500 employees that I quit doing their job. Worried about if they're gonna be work in the next day. And you get -- edgy everybody automatically think everything that everybody terrible. I don't think it's any different than what the government duel with the private sector -- the people do with the government. And I agree have been well that aren't there and that our government that are trying to bring that quite a bit back and it happened that irrelevant --

I I think you're right Eric we breached a moment in our society you know we've spent the last forty years or so. Deliberately dismantling things like values and morals and ethics and expectations. And in the kind of group. Pressure that we used to have to -- and appropriate way to a societal norms and it was societal those have been stripped away by liberalism combined with the fact that we live in a time of affluence. And people have a lot of money a lot of food and a lot of resources a lot of homers and a lot of trips to plan and a lot of money to be outspending at the mall. Those people tend not to be watching what their elected officials do or what people the officer doing and they let stuff go by because times are good we're doing well. If you don't -- SR look a bit let the good times roll as a result. Business as usual is where -- scanned you know. --
