Thanks a lot I I really appreciate you comment on what you've been doing today here even now in the road.

I've been out on the road -- started the day in Somerville they had the I don't know all America city. Recognition that something that they have -- It's sort of a Nobel Prizes cities. In the -- well I mean in the country in the land down here now in New Bedford at AM. At eight New England fisheries summit you know that C that we sit -- having now. Yeah at least and navigating somebody's federal regulations is in number honor. On our fishing industries that we've gotten some of the official that -- in there are some of the representative. Fishing and -- industry. Yeah -- era that currently is and see it. Yet the common ground that and move forward.

Well my youngest brother is a commercial fisherman he's the lobster men and anything you do to help the fishermen nets you're on the side of the angels with that governor -- idea.

Well we Garrett you know there's greater I don't have to tell you you know they're the most fearless as -- this part of our heritage here. In Massachusetts and it's an important economic engine. As well and make it in -- on the chin for awhile. I think this is one of those areas -- some of the regulations. -- It and -- said that went with it at people's lives so we're.

That's Governor Deval Patrick on the -- Manning showed 2666868. Our number. Governor we had Scott Brown on in the first hour with it's always great to talk to Scott and I have to ask you I know. You you're just not sort of a political ally of President Obama but your your friend of his to win. You know chest just a year ago no one could have been riding higher. He won the election and he used his favorability ratings were in the high sixties. He had a super majority in the Senate could pass anything he wanted he had 45 plus the advantage in the house could pass anything he wanted. And it's all seem to chest in the very short and go around the bend for him what happened to the president.

Well you know our magnetic reader itself got around the band and what he's been doing governing. And he's dead and one of the worst. Nominee in living memory and that founder -- and people manage our data. I yeah. Because we are. Ask well out here one -- working at CE. I just went on I think we're not. Felt the same urgency in some ways that. -- and other places and cabinet no prospective output but so what they've been debating that. Scary -- If you're dating thing that we have been -- last. Year and the great news it is. My Republican. Worked very well. It's -- And Eric Eric senator Senator Kennedy you designed. -- one and health care reform -- that brought coalition. Why aren't they coalition to get -- that is -- at. And so on as they could get them lucrative got a lot I it's. The last. That the president and the other and learn from what -- when --

Well the one thing though that -- seem to not have got a handle on and I know it's causing you all kinds of aggravation because unlike Washington you actually have to balance the budget. Is the cost of these programs. And I know my Mitt in his new book and I haven't read his book yet and I'm looking forward to and we're gonna have -- the end of the week Mitt Romney. Talks about some of the things he thinks maybe we could do to improve the Massachusetts. -- maybe get those costs under control. Could you see yourself -- up Mitt insane. -- this was your baby you know come back in here and if you get some good idea years -- you -- I've worked to implement them because. This thing is costing a lot more than we ever thought it was gonna cost.

Well. You're you're you're right -- the last thing. Yeah. Yeah Mitt Romney has been. Not in the great if it means and and helpful where Atlanta would be at at that apple opened.

Any yeah. Make their experiment. And more accessible by that fact it is -- at about one and eight but what you're dealing -- in -- you'd be. It's something that every. -- liquid yeah you know there are and that double digit annual increases in premium. And that certain -- and when you consider. Which.

Is running at -- you know. Or to have. He just doesn't add up.

That you're here in spirit repair what they've seen him. You know not want me yeah what are -- and correctly it wanted to be -- you know where our economic recovery. But there -- in their early to recommend it sure. We got eight track record your Nat uses very small. If they don't -- we don't get it. What they don't. Beat your parent -- in the Arctic cat sales are beginning Eric. But they can -- about active capital and spent about affording health and and you know cut small lot about what -- Eight which are and what happened to lawyers and -- and.

And that -- and bill 44% increase that it usually. If you are setting the record from small.

It's over and over and -- it. You know -- there are some from.

From the private sector but I'm not mark the fundamental I don't -- it's always get it just right. And this is what -- it was the market some boundary.

In order or act in order it off their family. It be able to afford helping track and to be able to start hiring and -- got.

Okay so you can wave the magic wand right now from Massachusetts -- was governor and we could get the Senate president the speaker to say will sign on. What would you do.

We -- short term and longer there. They're short term -- treat them -- on what we are calling off. -- how much dirt and mayor Eddie union and the hospitals and their abductor problem that very. In rate -- rate over the past couple you'd wildly into the -- If -- all or everything else that flat going down. And it really it doesn't make any sense that we -- numbers going up between -- and you're. Over orbit Arab direct bailout for many years and reform commission have been pretty good year. About how we move away from Secret Service you know this site is that you get a pretty about so you're better anchor quality outcome. And and I bet that the only -- That so called global and that will better quality. Movement as it brought. In the will -- bad. -- yet good Leo long term lasting relief. You know it.

Okay talking about costs you've got to manage a budget and just to tell our our listeners. We do things here on fiscal year the year ends on June 30 and it starts on July 1 so worry about. Two thirds of the way through this fiscal year. Are you gonna need more money are you gonna be able to balance this budget.

Now they're perfect balance the -- pretty good shape but revenues now seem to be holding Al Arab. We have cut our. Position over 1200 position based government he cut salaries. At first. And that's from public employee unions I think it will history. Collective bargaining with public well yeah it would do in the -- frankly. Every business and how old are you right right now is figure out -- you blow by. Approximately that it that we have liked it it is is heading at the other but now next year.

And I hear I hear it to bear their talking. It could be three billion to five billion dollar shore in the budget that you're looking at.

Well the budget for. Although -- you can connect you're.

Yeah for the wonderful start this coming July 1 one year old going to be debating over the next couple of months and will be keeping an eye on it.

You're you're in there it's cold beer -- what sort there's no. -- that proposal we made it her balance but. A lot of and sadly it invested in public schools that bet is that very -- Long term investment -- possibly make in my view attract all the line on locally. And recently you dad is each side of the services that. Local communities the -- are so important and trying to keep the pressure off the property. -- I mean we can't -- but now.

That what ballot spot at -- out the back of the many of the state there.

And as a result they're that the rating eight.

It should and important.

And -- ever heard repeatedly reaffirmed that public bond rating that we're doing pretty well. In the -- Democrat of an emergency but it is true airlock lock that up. I haven't except.

And I and I course I had a read this is Governor Deval Patrick joining us in the tally Manning show. I had read in the globe a couple weeks ago they you're out at at a town hall meeting and people are attacking you could you didn't raise the gas tax. It anyway I think K folks haven't seen the Boston Globe today I've gotta read this before you go and we appreciate you coming on we hope you'll come and I know. We did -- time to take couple calls now but. Maybe in the future command for an hour and take some calls -- from the voters. But let me just read this quickly before we get to the end of the half hour here. Brian -- the great globe political reporter has a piece today and the third paragraph says. Police are irate over deep cuts and incentive pay. And lakers on roads projects many teachers are upset by the elements of the sweeping education law that the governor's past. Unions that the debt written -- TM BTA are fighting over roll backs that the governors tried to do won their benefits. And other folks are mad and in their their everybody's all these union folks a mad and I'm thinking.

It's Mitt Romney the governor or is bill -- governor do you dare mad at a Democrat governor what's goin' on here.

Well you know I didn't run to speak up as a Democrat and proud to be a Democrat but I am -- serving as governor -- I think.

What has been missing in -- A lot -- Are making that as the art.

Is that won't make us stronger in the long run I believe in something about generational responsibility early and all the -- I learned from my grandparents vote -- your listeners that as well our responsibility to you and it make it better regenerate and big Al. And I think it's not that somebody and active agent out some of them -- on that is like that but some of them it or not their merit. The for a in the long run and I'll say that meeting disrespectful. Any of the votes to and used on the edit batter -- I think it's -- are right you for the great yet.

Well governor thanks so much -- for coming on today and I'll talk to your -- about having you come in and just for an hour I know you busy but it would be fun to take some calls and there's a whole bunch of folks who want to talk to you here and I think it's a good way to have talk radio to come in and talk to the voters in this important election year and let them know where you stand on the issue coaches.

thank you back here really appreciate you predictable do it.

All right thanks that's Governor Deval Patrick he is our guest on the Charlie Manning show. I'm wondering you just heard and he was just on.
