" Their profits phone while what do revolutionary concept this is -- believe he's a radical cons the radical while it is amazing to hear it. It is also gratifying to hear at that there are some people out there who actually still think clearly."

" Now in my mind this AIG story is running in in perfectly parallel there like the two tracks that the train runs -- in tandem with the with this stories we have coming out constantly from the state house. On how they like to find ways to some waste our money ingratiating themselves with their bodies there. And there's one of those delightful stories today it also includes mentions mention reformers. House speaker Tom Finneran that's right and talks about how speakers when they leave. -- staffs don't leave the staff stay behind collecting salaries and right now. The staff of sell the Macy has been moved to a private office on the fourth floor nobody has given them any assignments that nobody knows whether they come -- or not. But there's still collecting their paychecks -- end."

" Well I think the story were really doesn't quite say that -- the other the story says that. Some of them are engaged as we turn to -- it's -- two of them are Asian affiliate are you call them a constituent constituent services services but the big money people and some of them are engaged apparently in some tree in some transitional activity or no tie a tiny bit about this not much I left. I left are priced out of my job at them mass Biotech council my recollection is in October. So I was no laundering as active in the statehouses they had been. And I officially left at the at the end of December of my staff. And I had a fairly modest sized staff my staff would have stayed on. And departed during the month of October November December -- October and November December and a world gone by January so the transition. For me I think was relatively brief they assisted the new people coming into this because opposites. New one challenging."

" the question as to why is this guy responsibility I can see keeping one person around to take phone calls and may be asked couple questions on behalf of constituents who need something but in the case of sell the -- still working at the statehouses. His deputy chief of staff for 795. His deputy communications director fifty grand. His chief of staff for a 1105. Is executive secretary for 58 is communications director for 975. His community liaison for forty grand his chief counsel for ninety grand his community -- on the 37000. To special system for 69000. His chief legal counsel -- three and some. War lowly part timers only making twenty grand. Why why would all those people still being news."

" That's the question and I think that's what's begun to Leo's involved in the figuring out who's gonna do what if anything and a couple of these people have already moved on clearly the people doing constituent work. Will be. Transitioning down in transition now. What they're the ones or relevant. I you don't need a spokesman anymore when you're out there I know you and your legal counsel and that's and I think I think each of the that the people are involved in a spokesman of the press side of the speaker's office. The story goes on to say that each of them have who have found jobs and leaving states service okay but that doesn't answer the question or mitigate how appalling it is. That our money is treated so lightly while it's not being treated lightly taught I mean that's that's again tell me where I'm missing out that's an exaggeration -- what is thought as the deputy communications director two months after the speaker -- what's she doing its it's it's Lou it's daily over remarked that action in right between rich and it's about six weeks after that. She obviously was -- I have to assume she was assistant speak at the Leo with his. Transition and now she's found private sector works so has the communications guy from private sector work to a three of them don't constituent where you're -- and around what you what's the the normal thing would be here's your check. -- combined -- and that would have happened on the day is that you shut down Leo you have new people coming in to the office there is a transition. Of ongoing things the person who shows up as the new speaker. Pictures show. I think that -- as the new speaker yeah does not have. A full grasp of everything that the office has been saying that bodily I don't know what's going on while DeLeon who was going on totally done at the house ways and means but this is a different level of responsibility."

" Mikey gave few options and help you choose the service that's right for you your car and your budget visit New England -- dot com to find money saving coupons and the Miami key car care center nearest you -- Miami Heat York always the driver."

But nobody cares about Leo we trust of its -- we weren't stars you know we are the ones they've been way that -- exactly right so what just before we."

" To the break. Now we're talking about the the continuation. Of Osama speak it to Macy's personnel on staff in a paid positions while there's a transition going on in order for the quote he. But Seth gets out -- Bob of the new speakers. Press guide says they look. This that they're engaged in a transition the payments on the the payroll status that they enjoy is coming to an end -- applause so. Mean it's pretty clear that this whole thing is so winding down as it should nobody's arguing that mean there's not gonna be anybody here look at."

" Last year and that is why. Does everybody who seems to be worth the money is flowing want to be -- on us. And AIG destroying us up at the Statehouse is screwing us then here's a further example. Sell the Macy's staff he left office in January did you know -- January yeah this is late what businesses under obnoxious is late march. -- No expectations nobody even checking to see if they come to work do you think that these people want downstairs in the speaker's office helping this there's no mention this now if you're being interviewed and somebody a reporter comes units is what's going on via cell to -- staff is all here working what do you guys doing it she says why answer questions but don't use my name okay okay. What do you do it. Oh anything they ask."

" That doesn't sound like -- reaching defense. -- We've got a staff of 1234567891011. Who remain on the payroll -- for roughly 800000 dollars a year in expense. If for no reason. Andy you want to defend well two of laughed so it down on nine. Two -- three more story leaving. The -- they said -- leaving well as there's there's not a new jobs -- about to start new jobs so this is have they -- it is they'll stop collecting checks from the state this -- okay wait so they haven't left it -- they will stop means future or they will stop those tomorrow future enough to Leno that's -- I read it about it if it's late march I'll I'll concede that -- America so -- with a -- our armed -- somewhere between going and gone. Two or three more engaged and constituent services that will land when the special election comes demand I don't know when that is it's coming up soon so too early -- the the other nine -- what how is how is constituent services. You legitimate powers who you -- we're still who were doing how does -- services are legit. It's legit to keep a couple low level people want to answer the phone calls. When seldom basically I guess because it no legislator that's not about him being speaker it's about him having been around the track although -- I thought only have like one staff member. -- There's no mention that any of these capital art trade happens in the private sector knowledge on what we all the while we read in the story here is there were given a private office of on the fourth quarter go to work every day nobody knows if they should allotted."

" But I'm not asking about what the story says I'm asking you what you familiar with the private sector practice of having somebody come in. And work with the person they are replacing it's called a transition. Sometimes -- efforts sometimes it goes on while I would think the shorter right."

" Tonight we want to water on this and this is one of your years your reflections it's got nothing to do what we're talking. Thank you John 61726. Is how is that a deflection because I don't laid out a very clear scenario. That's how big reflect -- the practice and I'll -- 32 you always say let's speak our views on -- I know -- mention in this story -- in every two people lowered herself to -- is no mention of either of them knew of anyone -- transition work for the new speaker -- the new speaker has his own staff the new speaker has been how many years in the -- house. He has always on Steffi doesn't want these people you think somebody was coming up from the committee on acts knows about all the response -- in the speaker's office I if he didn't you might hire one of these people for a couple of that is supporting my call them after they've left -- got a question -- that's what I've always done in approximately. What's that. Haven't idiots guide and I speaker. You know a six point seven -- six Israelis I was interested to have his story is important because it ties all this stuff gets the same is AIG it's people in power. They give money belongs to them to squander anyway they want. It's unconscionable to send anybody who wore it is -- know what if not showing up here and I don't know what they're doing different from AIG the same note and I yeah -- had to attack at a one of the most foolish statements and for in a foolish that the taxpayers got screwed in both cases is are they not."

" You know we lot we laugh about it but Todd is actually got this I mean there's this at this time in his time and a place and has a limitation. I just think honestly might make sense this whole story Joe is that not quite sure what the globes motive is on this thing. But I think go for around whatever it's been six week transition people have obviously moved off the payroll and the others will be afford a six -- several -- transition is not out not out of the ordinary it was four months Joe was seven months I'd be on my high was higher than. And and more angry about it than taught."

" Does that speak this -- say yes. What as mayor right is that you'll think this is normal and we ought to appoint in this state where it's normal that -- are. Acts working on don't want -- and make it almost a million policy -- out we think that that's the way we don't. Other things that are the -- with pop art legislators probably know. -- a soccer ball at all it at the shot the quiet I just -- missed the speak you do is you can't be serious and as they NH. What about a layup by haven't. You know policemen you can justify people after the pop the -- and the businesses virtually shut out in fact the speaker has gotten. He and his staff on like that even one day in this candidate in this state is that is that just an outrage through."
