Joining us now on the line should do this for about a half hour little -- but the bottom of the hour. -- lieutenant governor Kerry Healey and she's here -- will it will take some questions for feel like to speak to -- 8774694322 thanks for being with us carry. It listen now what do what do you make of the vaults pilgrimage to beacon hill this week to what to kiss the rings of the Senate president and the speaker of the house of representatives Bobby trap and I sell the mesa.

It really tell you might need. And it's it's very extra things -- only a few weeks nobody was saying things like -- no obligation for the political establishment on each in lots of able the politics and money connect. I'm you're well I think after yesterday's strip injured is now able and also like everybody else.

And you saw to that after at dean -- relevant mayor of -- came out and started talking about his signing on. To the to the attempts of this convicted rapists Benjamin when -- to get a trial. Now he's now he's backed away from that -- front of the cameras of course but he has had a -- he issued a statement last night to the Worcester paper saying that he now thinks justice was served.

Well after the DNA proved itself was served well at one of the things that really concerns me about the ball -- is that you know. Here it is all in French now with that all -- establishment one of the things that they ever wanted you eat and -- the federal and it's been like the -- Patrick is. Soft on crime and any and and that other. How we can make any against -- the standard and it's we have a establishment that there wanted and having a governor who is inclined -- to the problem is --

Now what are the one of the things it's come up this week is that they have they have said Tom Riley made an issue in the democratic primary of the fact that Dennehy that that the -- was kind of wishy Washy on -- laws and now they're saying. The -- after attacking devall for being -- for being shall we say invasive on whether or not he would change the court laws that you have the same position basically that he does is that true.

You know of course that's ridiculous and -- all you know like weird and opening -- sex offenders on internet you know where where would -- it shipment level I went out and I we went to court our ministers what you are yet. On there and and today I was speaking out against what are they -- me is that things like getting well it's at the center out there on the internet wherever it enough that lives next door. Not to be a priority for its. They could be one of the things that he can do because for one thing up to go to a friend from the legislature and they're going to -- our priority we want to be earning money and of the things we don't actually care about trying to make up.

About the news that was was first broken by a morning guy Mark tales -- Ellen Miller now apparel today that the ball doesn't seem to be that -- he's very concerned about property taxes in the debates but. He doesn't really get out and vote that often when there's an or an override in the town of -- where he lives

certainly surprising information but L one of the that we haven't counted in the you'd like that. Proposal what are the new ideas that we put out there and look at yes whereas that you're going to have a prop it up override a regular election. Sympathetic in the -- at the -- at the top special election and number two you know a lot people wouldn't cannot sit out.

They've started a little more on Saturdays. In the summer.

that would develop only secretly about settlers should come about a special to sit and actually schedule he's propped up override Sunday it went. Only they're own forces would know about them and get mobilized and at a regular election date and everybody about -- look at it well property act elegant and and again.

Well here's here's the statement from Deval Patrick on the voting it just it just came out again this is a statement this he's like what it's funny how he's not going in front of the cameras on the he has these stories break from day today. The by Ian and I take our voting duty very seriously I voted person -- I can and when I am out of town on Election Day I normally vote by absentee ballot. I take responsibility and shame on me if I missed voting. What do you make of the fact two and carry that he you know he had a problem couple days ago he was being asked about how he would have dealt with the the the deficit in 2003 that the -- now Mitt Romney -- when -- men. And he hugest it took a few questions and then finally I guess just rule exasperated with the fact that the reporters weren't letting them off the -- and he just that turned just said thank you walked off the stage.

And you know what can't get away with other questions about the very good question answer why would -- get. Back in the year the green -- in January when Nikita in the air and it has ever three point eight billion dollar budget. When he backed and I thank you for what was being yesterday -- would've gone in the a secret meeting at a it would have decided that -- make out of that greatest economic downturn the great depression and the only alternative that they should -- with that situation I think it would --

One thing I've no one's ever been able to what -- I don't think when asked him I assume they have -- he's just -- away like he has on Benjamin blogger and taxes and voting on everything else. Do you think prop 21 half would survive the Deval Patrick governorship.

On that day. Today Kelly you know ally and the legislature bill that would we -- not happen one way or another. And it's only as we -- our eye out for you know we're we're sitting -- groups like citizens -- limited -- analyzing they'll. Which it it was on the under purpose so that the -- like they'll actually -- around propped up. He would he built the coming from the Democratic Party they would love the city and -- of the idea that he's saying you know somehow. Having governor would result and or as the.

what are you going to do a much call you mafia anymore by the way UN -- my bat a decision about that.

Thank you thank you very bad and I I -- very grateful what would you do but Christy. I think that people of these arguments there is lack. -- here these for what they are and you know if anyone needs to be answering questions about. Cost overruns birds that were at the big he went on the board. On the board one ought to read these questions spoke about it aware that our administration and he is making it very trying to figure that out. He was once it was on the board if there was something that needed to be known -- made it

I was on now with Peter -- this morning on the VCR and then no one his site -- said the -- take out a tool nine a restraining order and Kristi.

now we're -- alcohol budget debate for what I think or bored they'd probably end but next excuse and I look forward I think it's it's -- that these these questions the -- up -- Completely healed that need to be answered in Italy.

playing it can get benefit of all varieties like like that's like welfare -- or all. And is that act like. It means that your year that Europe are part -- it. Very difficult for law or are they able to tell any difference between every minute of the you're walking around with a private and it's that. It's just law and whatever that concerns me about all its lack of respect for law -- He doesn't believe that because people -- for the actual back but it should automatically and -- but here in Massachusetts when people voted to roll back that was a law. And I don't -- and that were -- well the people didn't fully understand what they were voting for what -- four to roll back.

the last part -- I didn't question well the the the first part of it was you know mayor Bloomberg is -- trans fats in New York City restaurants. He wants to know it's been a big story on on our show anyway and a lot of other shows for the last couple days how do you stand on on having the government step in a band treat ulcer at.

Me -- haven't been haven't. Following that story but I bet probably most of my favorite -- from the I would be pretty disingenuous idea advised that the I would want to do anything about that I don't think the government should anything other than to occur for the -- of bad about it.

Mayor Bloomberg was asked about yesterday at a press conference with the Robert deniro when he started talking about how great it was to -- in trance fats and Robert deniro began. Making faces at the at the --

A well -- it'd probably it's a really nice there probably as a huge trend.

That's right in the -- the mayor said to him why are you doing this to me I gave your restaurant applaud and the did or didn't say much after that but everybody got the message thanks for the call Jason Jerry you're next with how we car and lieutenant governor Kerry -- go ahead Jerry.

and I -- Wednesday it was in the debate that you let me go to the -- told the annual thing you know -- that given a -- say even money market that he did well you know -- all -- is your chance. And I get one bugle -- yes delivered between Deval Patrick Mike Dukakis.

Deval Patrick has charisma. -- helmet. Either one -- home works I was still in my life from a citizens for limited taxation. Thanks for the -- another Gerry you're next with how we car in -- governor Kerry -- go ahead Jerry

no republic ever -- that -- make respond encountering almost impossible but I would not let there could be ethnic Deval Patrick gave the Jasper white girl without at least some part of a statement. Let them -- a blanket statement that all commercial fishermen have about alcohol and drug dependent issue is outrageous. Gary I I ordered it. I agree -- not -- every opportunity. I completely agree it thank you for bringing that up this huge debate that's been raging out down on the -- sitting Gloucester it really so offensive. To link situation other fishermen are fighting for their lives and their careers and their way of life right now because of the federal regulation. But just not in its Bite but -- how the about it I'm allowed to work. Can you imagine federal government came -- and -- any others -- that you know but you can only work half as much as you know and expect cigarette -- on -- It's it was outrageous actually I don't they're watching and trying to get these these regulations changed in you know Patrick summed up with the generalization -- Wheatley you know in left field and it in and not at all pertinent question which is -- all these it has fishermen in the Fisher and maintain their way of life there's really it was it was very.

The broad issue a statement tomorrow night apologizing

ARD has already it.

His -- must be very busy port to putting on all these statements after.

I don't think you know luster is not forget that any time and it was it's rock any decade ago that this might have you know. All relevant but you know I I don't think it is I'm fine people they are who were involved in the fishing industry and it breaks my heart is -- with the federal regulations it and.

Thanks for the call Jerry -- your next with how we car lieutenant governor Kerry -- go ahead --

lieutenant I wanted to ask you I've developed Patrick talked about looking at rolling back property tax. It in my mistake in the art schools are funded by property taxes.

They say are anti off so he doesn't actually have a plan -- been working out -- I don't really know what that means it's very unclear at this sort of boomerang theory that -- more money is the state government. Taxes that the and they returned more money to cities and they -- the city's intent to get around to lowering property taxes and I just ecological. Between those things I have a plan that would actually get that done by taking pressure off the local budget by doing things. Number one getting read all of these local tensions the answers are harder for from the cities and towns and counties and everywhere else it'll actually to lose for -- million dollars the year. So if you.

They about a lot of nice junkets for the board member I heartily agreed that. Guenther.

Yeah that is best -- that's right 40 million 49 with simply by eliminating the local board. That bill themselves six million dollar headquarters in -- did you get all over the place quote -- various investment managers. We can get rid of all that after the state treasure of fine job and they'd sit in -- on year that would help take pressure off property. And it's another thing we can -- which against the each and they're inside their Health Minister. Other employees all -- at the state level by insurance fort and -- an important. We get much better -- in the cities if and we -- have all opinion or by their health insurance or group insurance commission and again and that kind of dollars for a our municipality appetite he propped. Some strange -- really doesn't have any.

what did you think of the story about the that I wrote I must say pat myself on the back about the toll collectors and there are there workers' comp you think that's a problem in state government in general.

Politically it it is -- state government probably probably throughout and we need to look at all of our standards how I a lot of things that -- the tree is our unemployment insurance regular you realize. Probably in the radio but it's actually illegal here to work for 15 -- which is and that we have to work is Cuba qualify for unemployment -- And then fire yourself what can I offer the -- yourself and then what unemployment insurance for -- people do that you're asking other people done year after year after year. -- report.

You do this while your auto workers call from the turnpike authority.

I don't know if you can combine these things together. Strikes me as something that obviously should be addressed but we shouldn't be able and you're asking everybody -- adequate insurance are very important that it should be for people who were actually fired people fire them well.

What nuptial people would not divulge what's say -- you've had for years to work on this why haven't you done something before now.

You know what I was just that this is brought my attention recently by someone who had been working parents and I said you know I've noticed that some people have been doing it's like 20. And so that's what my proposal to close them all and reform and won a deterrent effect the highest taxes. We have on employers pattern 88 dollars per employee or ear and -- its highest in the country when people look at -- that we bring jobs or somewhere else. They're looking at unemployment insurance -- being driven out by incredible report.

Thanks for the call -- Dan -- next with how we current lieutenant governor Kerry -- go ahead then.

Hello lieutenant governor it's on -- speak via our eight actually take Michael thank you out lieutenant governor I I I hope. The court. That Christie gets out of the race I -- everything and -- well you know it you know he had a lot of good will built up when he was on the board but all of that and it is brought its finished its diminished he has got that -- in the big patrol and it government that without -- camp in this race and with this amp -- so belt rapper running he has is not going to take the -- on anything because -- underwater what and anybody not to mention that he probably doesn't have many things well thought. I and ski at that depth of this and and the only way that I can see you went in this -- lieutenant governor is if if Christie gets out of the race.

Well you know what people I think people are smart and I think they're going to figure that I think they're going to sit say they don't boating -- but want to waste my or not and what kind of message that I want to live. Do I want to look at Massachusetts. Lower taxes and school -- standard and state street or do I want to take the risk of going to off Patrick I don't really know what it going to be like it's either going to be higher taxes into oblivion lots what that everything safe. And I think people are smart they're going to make that decision than their realized that voting for he doesn't get it.

Thanks for the call -- Mary you're next with how we car and Kerry -- the lieutenant governor go ahead Mary

look -- an area a great job the other night and I couldn't help but notice Deval Patrick marking. While Christine and I hope was giving you a hard time bits stick with the acting cute doing.

You its market somebody else can do when -- during work here.

Have him as a governor you know it's really scary like help people think about that help people get public you know Kelly I am not here in Devon and I am about to go and analysts believe our troops. That's been organized elk Deer and they're collecting things and visit troops that are act in Afghanistan so -- have to get off -- saying a lot of these grateful that you -- on site to do it again.

Okay we well will -- against very soon okay thank you that's like Kerry -- sorrow and we'll keep taking calls on this RE a we just ran out of time but the best way goes 1877469432 to Tom you're next with how we car go ahead Tom. All right sorry you can't talk the lieutenant governor I apologize.

All right but I want to take go it's what a comment that the governor had was that the accuracy -- the -- because he was actually on the turnpike board you know that's that's how it is really yeah if it's black lack clout because he probably am you know we can't adapt.

Where he can keep -- we can talk about that on our car
