Or would you rather have let's all go to seven dollars Judy there was seven income tax increase nobody -- five point three to six point 8% of people probably gonna rain fell off the whole idea how you trick the population not a trick the manipulation of the -- Washington and so in the public arena it's reported on almost every single day. People are talking about a people writing about it. People. Focusing on it no question about our before you have to the -- gonna show you by the way that having no financial meltdowns in -- referenced in the -- I -- heard of them generally it's have a terminal. Rhode Island as well. I know that -- moment we've we have made fun of Michelle Obama for the sleeplessness and yes to her big but you've talked about off the -- not are on the air if you such a broad. You know I guess that's up bride. I would not do that jelly jam down sick right yeah he -- ha -- you haven't. You -- No one's sick -- that is a good imitation offender off the -- talking about Michelle Obama but he's very respectful on the however I think she's got so far lounge. Because she's talking about their sex life and dot she is she can Williams yes she is whoa wait till you hear they would tell you stop them know you -- hear it it's an -- you can.

Is that crazy dog. I you know he lasted -- on people's feet.

That she's talking about the president but at such time in front of a group a kid -- I held the royals going to Portuguese. Are you gonna do are yours like to spin things on this the end of course and that's who you guys listen tour that is.

Wrote a story about my husband last night it was like 10 o'clock at night everybody was asleep and we hear almost jumping around and we thought somebody was out there. And it was just my husband knew he was -- with the ball and it was like there was another person.

It's decision time. -- Dogs leeches on no -- Daria has filed a Madonna blacks. Tones resistor of this time in this are going to be off -- soccer debate are lets talk taxes that 6172666. -- the new thing it's like the tax of the week. That the legislature or the governor won that one body or another -- out their for us to consider. Now they seem to be moving away from the seven dollar -- away from any other increase while that's untrue they may still -- the gas tax along with a one or two point. Sales has to say your perception of where there hadn't been well not that's my perception of what the globes were okay. I don't you have greater insights then the globe because you're much smarter or more experienced and you know all those people there I don't know them all but boy you do the ones who matter you know trained right. Ha ha -- so tell us where they're headed.

Within headed is to do probably in the end they'll probably end up doing. Something as little as possible in it will not be sufficient to address the magnitude of the problem that'll be the first step and then we'll come back and a few months and do more 1990 did Mosley who's a state representative from up by North Adams very very smart guy -- been up there awhile who's got a lot of experience. He has made the observation I think it's absolutely very very politically precise. You don't want to take multiple votes. On multiple tax proposals if you gonna do one do one. Make it worthwhile. Give it over with and prepare for the finest. So -- political firestorm weren't subtle allusion -- a big explosion one time is better than a lot of smaller -- a -- absolutely because all of them will be standing in front of their constituents not just in the fall of 2010. There in front of their constituents about. You know if three days a week four days a week did Danny at three as we get back -- so those -- out of office hours going to quarterback the network card out in front of the door who they'll be people could they'll be confrontations. With elected officials. In supermarkets at the Little League field -- the soccer game and everywhere else. Because people are up against that the unemployment is staggering in this state the economic anxiety is overwhelming and people just say hey wait a minute if I have to cut back in my life and in my household. I expect you guys to do the same dog of amid appointee to run into anybody else who calls on this stuff. -- lot easier said than done he can't just say oh yeah we're going through a tough budget time so let's eliminate third fourth and fifth grade for the next couple years he can't do you pick one grade they're hock their things the things that government does. But -- what I would consider it to be fundamentals. Essential to an order it's aside in a society that's exactly.

Really like you have to have 10% of the state on food stamps now you just have to know you don't have an you have to have 30% of the state on Medicaid Medicare you just have to as well again and you have to find new lacing a more people on all the time in the -- advertisement. Because. I -- already -- somebody who could be on the on the dole is on the alt. It's horrifying.

What you know my view on its -- self. Of Nagano and I and I six point 72666. -- sixty discretionary stuff has to be cut and cut to the -- and I think and they don't touch I think they're -- what way it went well let's let's be fair about that we had their representative -- European just about a week or so Charlie Murphy whom whom he's still is the he's the one who often -- pending budget proposed yes yes. Did not use did not dip into the rainy day fund did not use any accounting gimmicks. Did not propose any tax increases and literally took a bludgeoned to the budget in just cut cut cut cut -- not. And so you can't say gee you know we will see what I guess game will show and other responsibilities put out of their rules do what happened is we've based on current revenues he created a budget. That's that's very different from what will be happening if they raise taxes right well if they raise taxes let's say they raise taxes by billion dollars however they get to that but let's just keep an eye disease he. That billion dollars would then I assume most of whom probably go to local -- Some pay increases may be Ferraro does Statehouse now there be known there'd be no pay increases I think they're -- but there -- going to go away. To maintain police fire and educate six point 72066. Says the building blocks of six seasons he --

Lot of the north Daniel W argue atomic hot water and target warmer than they -- Bob are you today talk about cut from the lately there is some bother me this cover. And did they pay for the those commercial that secret delivered that message through its vacation that's true at all here. The deposit they paid a competitive say yes yeah. Why didn't they ever Tribeca people I see that all the time why they have departed people what we currently. You try to keep deals are moving to New Hampshire -- limited -- credit why would anybody ever try to hit it about the truth about it is starting teleport but why -- show it here.

We did -- just don't caught so hypnotized CEO of organic Genesis and again and genocide design -- here in the big food companies this attitudes in advance -- the organ org and whether we're gonna go. There are gonna take a whole company problem can't and there are going to move to Rhode Island and expand down in a lot instead they stadium that I am not that. Because what it's actually worse state than Massachusetts if you want to open a business Rhode Island was Rhode Island was trying to tempt them with financial incentives on -- Financial incentive -- so we fought back we bribed -- more but to get back on the radio to get better get back to the confusion. You can pow. -- Say -- good morning.

Good morning why do grades please it's -- and yes he did prospective advertisers say that I mentioned the idea. Of the conversation we. Act which won Boston -- roll up our okay. Are all washed up Wednesday that -- raised as. A great -- this morning I called up from time we're on upload them. He's on his deeds and he tries again he tries he'll run out of every incoming call hello one out of every type -- article Earnhardt when it. Raised this great -- and all right but as -- that's wonderful. -- because some -- I'm gonna call Nextel. I'll always bought the parliament you're the only connection familial ability picks -- Well I -- I just went straight -- that. Well -- want to discuss briefly. Percent a statement. The proposed a yes -- Oh -- regressive it's as. Now in. Recession and Andre Andy acts as -- Norman that impact it will.

Then there's the cell that's the in state and that's the impulse contrary what Todd likes to he has a lot of fun poking fun it's and that's all they ever think of mr. They dream they fantasize you and they become aroused by the notion of -- directly or that is not true at all but when he also -- our when he skidded to a situation like this and there is a meltdown and you lose in May be. 51015%. Of -- the revenue you collect in ordinary years this is an extraordinarily difficult the F. What do we do with the schools -- calling from whom what do you do with the schools -- no do you shut down through for the fifth grade you know you cannot do that deal lay off.

50% on -- you know you can't do that right hand a million dollars a year we spend on Medicaid how about cutting a little -- that cell. Plus now the cutting -- toxic out drops out I remember how good conversational LaSalle go along time. -- C usually if he does answer the phony puts them on for about fifteen seconds manga and apparently they get through only if they talked about that we want to talk about -- bankruptcy rates. And do it. That's South Korea John and -- how are you this morning.

Talk to -- you're -- you're. Nice to toward then -- they're trying to change our we're gonna talk schools. And better. And now you know you can do they're ready alfalfa --

You is absolutely. Needed every day you know he -- he's like you -- besides every day there are -- everyday puts about of the six point 72666. -- taxes the proposal is for a they -- attacks of the day proposal audience. Is word of the sales -- to our points that day the -- tax proposal new revenue proposal of the day Jeff is in a car it's you're on WRKO Jeff.

I I'm GR. Gardner -- thank you could make breed they're talking about -- pop up in order real quick somebody. Nobody talking about the talk -- do the job actually. One day. All of a sudden nobody can -- not everybody. Job. And not away anybody hop station about fire. People want to take up a lot.

Wait wait wait Jeff Jeff this is unbelievable what you've just raised we had Easter Sunday right we -- toll takers in the boots because they could not afford to pay the freight. To have a toll -- there to take the money right. Then beat the repercussion is that they start to give away the transponders for free at a cost of six million. Dollars.

That's their answer and they cancel roll offs of how many. How many guys are Palin a 5050 guys they're not light up because they couldn't afford to bring into an extra two or three guys -- time and a half. I had -- even this crop up. On. They can lay off any because it was too expensive to pay somebody 55 dollars and hour an Easter Sunday.

Well let me try I'll come public sector. Take that. It will have to take our people get laid are.

I am really. He said this Jeff now Tom is going to have to go on his -- let me let me -- and you're back.

I hit the talking to a nothing at all. And I know it you'll enjoy it up.

I want I think probably the ultimate global public -- this state wraps. Everybody -- all the charity that they do that relations.

You are very devious in your debating technique could be they T says so glad you could be involved financially you can believe all those and I thought he was specifically wondering if they donated their pay increases as suggested they would do. I don't know charity not involved doctor they're marching for hunger rep with each -- they wearing a button today the -- of all of us share at a committee did put together a local talent show lost something else like that participated in the right where's the Finneran not involve filibuster music -- Hamas.

Really the.

I drive a little bit more. Sorry about that around it's hard to get him to stop. And rob good morning. Good morning run.

I think wanting to question then is that the public employees have been up in the BC into aren't the state. In order were right about that it -- still bump up because it pillaged it would benefit of those guys are right.

You are absolutely correct try and say it again the public employees are doing what.

open basic how that's true. It has been at every single -- part of our problem was the pensions and health care and pay the payroll it's. Well repeatedly in the September 11 fled. They reverend Antioch in the -- in September 11 up and and no doubt that rhetoric yet that.

You know I saw that David -- I saw that PB one run on I don't know the specifics but. I saw that a -- a -- I guess almost all the Peabody City Council and the -- erupt -- voted Florida and they said look it's a give and take it's a balance we went along with this one I think it's a silly idea standing alone. But apparently there are other concessions he you know what you and I might as well what little battle senator Chris is the September 11 holidays already obsolete if you didn't.

I think maybe it's will be the citizens under the blasted guarantees their election next time up because they do happen. They don't do it without because these against my apologies I had a welding. And elections -- actually as well -- me.

Help me understand I guess there are Tom Menino -- running for reelection so he wants to be popular wants everybody to support him. But he's got to the unions and half of them have agreed with them dearly to take a pay cut -- they're not going to insist on their pay that the pay. Increase that they're entitled to under the contract that's run -- however let me finish when he finished an analogy talked front. And then the other thing that he's been doing in the contracts he has negotiated recently Iraq contributing more to this health camp. And the pay increases alike you know. 22 and a half percents spread over a few years is after years of agreeing to horrible unsustainable contracts in a desperate economy has no choice. He's trying to pull back -- He doesn't like it yet but doesn't want to what he.

Waiting to them and by the way they responsive half of them half of them are right this fifty. Now the oh yeah veteran we're gonna give a little like what we call those souls of those stranded about when it's more about there was no wind was all right let's LeBron and let's let rod talk go ahead run.

These are always used their -- newspaper the -- in -- opposed. Politicians nobody unions and Nick Barnett side excuse the elections that it's no wonder that did the publicists just powerless. Because if people aren't having the right -- well my life and almost sixty.

if you run for governor you got my full support and -- I'll say this Ron's calling from when he's got a good may -- that he does have a he's got I've got a great man whose guts to say go to master mariner history upset but some other elected officials that I wonder why should vote for change he should vote for change. Harry.
