Tim Cahill

It's no sound -- societal thunderstorm -- start -- hero wasn't that a man in which direction you'll hear about death. Tim. Has not made any specific announcement -- I don't understand why this is not a huge there should be herds of people racing. To abandon the Democratic Party which is proving itself to be so fiscally irresponsible -- so far. Tim Cahill was the only -- smart enough to do it he's leading a parade of one but you never knows this could be this could become a stampede I think others an exodus Andy's here to tell us why he's doing and now why it was considering running against Deval Patrick who is after all the chosen one junior. So why would you take -- opt opt out option he'll welcome to the big oil cartel demonic Tim. How -- you this monitored. Great hey this is sad this is big news and it's news that just goes beyond kind of the political chattering class is up on Beacon Hill. You've announced that you feel -- discomfort with the democratic -- that this attacks and spend philosophy a pattern NBA via. And you just not feeling -- their welcome. Bought out home what's the response been to him since this a new century since she spoke so clearly about the us.

Well Steve Grossman does lead sheets so trust that's one piece of news. Generally you know I I probably haven't talked to enough Democrats to it is to -- the backlash -- are or maybe some of the anger -- The people I've talked to. Have been you know pretty generally. Okay with the decision don't see it as. As big deal maybe as we see it up on the -- are people who are thinking and talk all politics all the time it's it's. So -- natural and an I was hoping for that because I I think over my career I've sort of and then more independent in the average Democrat. Especially on fiscal issues and it goes back to my gaze on the City Council Quincy. So I I don't really -- made the decision or talk to let Hillary talk to a close advises that this is what I wanna do. I'm I have very difficult -- sort of leading up to yesterday and the day before in terms of sort of making the announcement.

I am -- welcome to start run on there to relax you just did the most brilliant saying the question is why he -- years earlier -- Yeah hot stuff back tonight this is hard you must feel celebratory.

I I do actually regarding NBA it will be the question. And I'll ask myself down the road or are or may ask myself what what I was I think -- you know. But it just write in and although I haven't made a final decision as to whether Iran. Consulting and it -- to make this decision first -- not. So breaking free and trying to do what no one's ever been ever done before is that is a daunting task. I think need to have some clarity in my mind I'm not but I'm not really an indecisive person or make decisions pretty quickly and pretty straight and this was waiting on me. But now it's done it's done -- and I'm gonna go to City Hall later this morning and -- physically actually changed my registration are.

It sound excited about it some proud okay you starting at ten whiny. Just be it's such a glorious thing that you did you made a decision -- your deciding to be different that's court we need that so desperately. Did you did you notice something refreshing about its image I just wanna make up a point that I think you've been an observer and a beneficiary of that. Over the years people tend to in my opinion vote more and more for the person. As opposed to the party. Affiliation which -- any number of for example. Republicans elected in this state to be governor specifically and treasurer. And it wasn't because the Republicans enjoyed. Super majority in terms of up body enrollment people will look at a candidate -- bill weld -- John Silva Silva Paul salute to Bruce's. You know Joe -- while -- Malone was in the primary but the you know what absolutely against other candidates. And this hasn't -- discomfort among the electorate so I think you I think Todd might be onto something here that you've. You've cut you've captured or wind or breeze that blows fairly steadily here in Massachusetts.

Yeah I've always felt personally -- always probably be surprised what a great gift from some people let it be only supported me so as a Democrat but I won't stop to people. Most people who pay attention or -- caused all of the person not the party. Sometimes the party limited choices. Which is interesting some but I had to fight through and 2002 to get on the ballot to make sure that I got to the convention. It wasn't something I was all excited about doing again is go to that all convention stops where the Democratic Party my party or my former party. I'm is is being undemocratic by saying no you don't keep 16% in our ballots in in but in order to get 50% you gotta cut deals you gotta. You know promised -- that person ending and that whole process I think. -- a lot of Democrats even knows within the party.

And all -- artillery -- it drove me crazy and I think it's exclusionary and I think it's a hypocrisy for the democratic -- my body to say that there would rise this part of exclusion as the -- big tent and yet they put in exclusionary rules what do you say we can take some calls Tim we got a bunch of people love to talk DO. How let's go to -- scholar from Boston rusher on the year with treasurer Tim Kay hill.

Go -- again congratulations. -- platitudes.

Clap clap clap clap clap not.

This -- stuff that's off on the right foot free at last okay go ahead Russia got the treasurer --

Let's face at that time to say good -- I don't hope plus change its stand to say goodbye -- yes we can raise your taxes. And I -- will join you this weekend and I will re register because I'm enrolled. And I hope I hope that many Republicans and Democrats. All join us. In your reference.

While you very much to do it again we appreciate that I I do agree that it's time to change sort of the they're reflective. Actions on the pillows -- were in trouble with revenues that it did the job is not to spend less but just tax Morant. That's really the point of my major -- contention with the governor. This that is response has been got -- we -- expo which ones who we raise and how much to erase some. In a recession as you guys know it's it's counterproductive it's dark -- out of recession isn't gonna make it tops our. Aren't average folks middle class folks to to continue to do what they do.

And that's why I was exaggerated -- reinforced. In the story we see in the Boston Globe today router were reflective of the June numbers which show continued decline at a time when. The governor still confer -- little increases in spending here in the area and yet the the things fall further behind. Tim and busting -- on with state treasurer WRQ good morning -- They -- Boston welcome. -- Boston they're not there we have the -- no way that area there's -- Are illustrate Casey then Casey good morning --

Morning guys come -- Kristi why else tried that running as an independent but governor and it didn't quite work out too well farm. I was wondering out. Could you. Beat it took the first step up quite golf left for a Democratic Party. -- all the way. -- what's really I understand it's dead it's ever been done before and interest he had had trouble with it but. I'm running statewide. Twice no -- we're countywide. I've read city wide have got a pretty good strong organization. I have marina -- certainly get me through a lot I I I expect -- The rules don't change and certain I get elected in this business about what party you're in you're gonna get out fear and got a bang our divorce and you gotta get out here you gotta. Developed grassroots organization and I think that was what was missing from Christie's -- campaign for years ago. -- Republican Party but that but you still have to work it. And it's not eat we -- so far thus far north of the -- by an election in the state of Massachusetts so thankful for that. So it's more than just spending money and it's having a message that people have to respond you know I can be. You know not running down and they'll get lead to a certain point especially now -- have changed parties but I also have a message. And the message is going to be how we straighten out the ship economically Massachusetts and that's going to be the primary if not the only issue. It's all about the economy and what's gonna position us to come out of this. Recession better than the other states better than our surround New England states what's gonna put people to work to create jobs in the state of Massachusetts and that's a message -- got a really. Defining it then and I've got I've -- of people but I -- I can get that across. At the end of the day people won't really -- award whoever's got the right game whether it's art key or I. Very -- Hawaii and the worst in short what they whether or not they -- acampora.

Jim with three got a those messages that you have to develop one -- your most recent messages was that to suggest some type of retreat of auto wholesale retreat from the the health Kellogg not you know that's holy Grail to the Boston Globe for example and I think holy Grail to a lot of democratic activists. -- what specifically. Do you think should be retreat unit should be disposed cover at least put on -- put up on the shelf.

Well right I can't give specifics right outspoken I don't know enough about the specifics of alarm where the money spent. -- we don't control that part of the budgets. I think the major premise is that we can't afford to cover everyone universal coverage. And universal coverage will be cheaper. I don't buy that. -- let's say we shouldn't try to doing universal coverage is not our goal but we can't afford to cover everyone we can't afford to cover everyone. And maybe that's what we have to stop and and pull back this this whole idea or not covering 30000. Immigrants. I'm who can't get federal coverage could they don't qualify begins to qualify for that's so silly you you million dollars you don't have anything. You know sort of pick up the middle class in order to cover people who just barely came to the states. And then send a message to everyone else comes in that situation woke -- you. That's not really protecting our assistance to a court appearance spent their lives here and watch too. Reiterate -- we -- actually elect I'm trying to do so don't occur at some of the decisions that I think we have to make. Maybe not being overcome our. Sort of everyone up to 300% of poverty which is really like middle class -- Estate basically and what's happened at this health care liars because to state player and I'm really is is is a better deal than for businesses start for themselves some business -- the fight. It out just -- pick it up in the states picked it up and but I think generally or overall we may not be able to cover everyone. When we're in a recession that we may have to be stopped. -- conferencing and trying to trying to make it universal even knowing no what's the goal and I don't. Tonight at that ultimately is the goal but it candidate date guys don't you can't afford it. It would bankrupt estate to get it would have we accomplished at the end of the day we've got more unemployed people. Getting help educate about state.

All right Peter is next on WRKO state Treasurer Tim Cahill the morning Peter.

Demonic. An -- like I just like to send a Democrat I do not like I'll vote for Democrat Republican independent I would it would netted in the -- based on -- personal consider you a considerate person bios. My I have two questions. By two questions are based on his economic problems. Is that why does -- state considered like maybe you bought the book did it. Attend the 20% cut of course Allstate salaries. We try to do something with the budget and a second question is if you become governor if you do run for governor we use supports. So we actually have to keep its equal shares that are being both mother and.

For the Peters thank you the question I and I intersect a part of the question that the first I was look we cut state employees' salaries. If we have to and and state workforce and numbers of pure numbers of the state workforce is probably -- have to come out meet our state payroll that's sort thing I'd do. Cover every two weeks is about sixteen million dollars more than it was. Our bottom biweekly basis that it wasn't 2006. I don't know what would dornin who they laid off over the last year but it doesn't look like cup payrolls going to our. It's into the day -- we have to do like what corporate workers started and cut jobs. -- just -- taxpayer money then you know that's one thing we have to look at so I don't -- cutting salaries. I don't I'm not a big. Believe or furloughs necessarily. Because I think you just postpone the problem if you don't have the money next you what you gonna do. I'm I think at the end of the day if you if you don't have the revenue and you can't afford to employ the people you've got to make some across the board cuts. A baby get up to 10% of the state workforce at short -- they'll bring it down to the 20052006. Level where we work. Before this crisis -- let's go to junior CN struck a part of the question so I don't know what would say.

Jim you're on WRQ with the treasure.

The white government. And Jim. Are quick question further the treasure. A lot of states are examining. I whether -- not open a state owned bank owned by the people -- several states right now have that inflation these states are running budget surpluses. Is that a possibility masters it's. A state. OPEC meeting meaning. You know all in that we would chartered ourselves towards her -- what would be the purpose and that Jim. Well if you have a state owned bank a bank -- if they haven't they can lend ten dollars for every dollar they haven't stark. If we have that inflation we can take our entire budget put in the banking news that is lending capital. And lend directly to state agencies.

Jim I'm curious -- mentioned a couple of states have these they're running surpluses can you give you two examples and I'd like to do some research Monica's site I'm. I don't pretend to speak to Tim Cahill -- just curious about myself.

state that I know of his most Dakota North Dakota -- this -- I I can be art studio and I don't know the specifics governor certainly be open to looking into it but. What makes me nervous is what's happening right now with the government owning banks. With a minority cart companies. That makes me nervous because there's one thing that I know. On this that -- don't run business is well business is sometimes don't do read about. But governments never do well. And I would not be supportive of us moving more more into the corporate world and trying to take global businesses that the into the picture. They need to be some kind of a line between the -- Regulation. You know putting. You know putting. You know we're you know regulations in in terms of how much capital you have to have you make -- mean those -- things within reason. I think you're okay but we over regulate. -- try to control the government. And I encourage you should start a lot of become more like Europeans start up that would have been littered with 10% unemployment for the rest of our lives and I don't see that -- a little.

Maybe upset -- not in favor a state owned auto company about. And we'll see when we continue state Treasurer Tim Cahill Thomas 680 WR camp.
