" Now all this time. Forma holidays cars show. Workers being innovators the students who are going to be powering. Our coverage so their dreams have to -- are all they needed a government. There is working to create jobs and opportunity for them rather than simply giving more and more to those of the very tough in the false hope that twelfth automatically trickles down."

" The White House says the president is unaware of the tea parties and we'll hold his own event today truly in love. -- party phenomenon is steeped in American culture and steeped in American. No reason to get involved with what's going all our government I haven't organized how many have scored to play like Texas are not going to be able to get away today -- it. But I have to tell you have. I'm I'm pretty proud of this. They're searching for your voice. It charged talking if you guys and -- lead guitar -- I believe the federal government has become oppressive. I believe it's become president in its size its intrusion in the lives of citizens. And it's interference with the affairs of our state now however the Lawrence."

" That's about as American as it hits Hamas color guard WR doom radio network."

" 18774694322. That's the toll free number of -- trophy like to join us here. On Saturday from eleven to one. -- down on Cape -- stop -- to see me will be at these books Smith music Smith in Orleans has just off of route six. Yeah I'll be there are signing copies of my book the Brothers Bulger. And if you would if you already are copy the book come on down anyway and can grab a magnet that will -- be given away bumper stickers don't blame me I voted for mafia will have T shirts to give away all sorts of various things. You're welcome to Texas choose its. Magnets as well various things so come on down eleven the one at the -- Smith music Smith and Orleans on Saturday morning Jeff Perry will be there's. Selling his book as well. And will -- more calls on the tea parties here and I element in awhile but I did want to check in on the latest. On the M the turnpike debacle. Now on Sunday on Easter Sunday and there's been speculation. All all all all week long about who is to blame for this. The end we have a an email that has fallen into our hands. It's from somebody who works at the pike this was -- sent out on Friday April 10 at 9:49 PM. As of Sunday April 12 2009 the MTA Mass Turnpike authority has established a new minimum. That interchange thirteen there will be two collectors men's slash max for second and third shift until further notice. Think of the -- central problems endless this is no way April fool's joke and happy Easter god help us. Now this would seem to indicate that the the the actual. Decision. Was made by management ended that as the union said last night in a in a statement it was not a case of the blue flow involving the toll takers. Joining us now on the line as a senator Richard to say the -- the Senate Republican minority leader senator to say thanks for being -- us. Good well what do you make of this this email that is."

" So the more that comes out the more interesting. This is getting because you know initially. When you know that if you're. Erupted over you know unconscionable traffic jams. The first thing -- local -- did was to blame it on me. Collectors and so -- there was a walk out."

" And thank you are literally probably do things differently or you just have to steal it they. -- sometimes doesn't."

" steadily though we end up finding -- the next day. Can you admitted it was that it wasn't that at all it was a question -- from that there was an implementation of a new. You won't work rules that and all of a term that started actually on Sunday that all the term very comfortable boost to a less people put him. Historically low. Numbers of people. Any other time and that's what actually happened it was a decision by our director local church that came down I think on Friday."

" Friday -- Leo would this email -- Friday night so it came down late French so they they turn off the lights on -- they come bridge Thursday night and then that got such a great public response that they decided to -- basically decimate -- the force on the toll boost for Easter Sunday."

" Any other particular -- I think that you mentioned -- from what I understand normally there were people there. During a regular Sunday yeah -- each side -- and you know. And that doesn't -- the interesting thing you know that this is I think out of amid a bigger. A plan that's been orchestrated terror really you know make things as painful as possible for people whether it's stirring up awaits some because they -- bridge. Whether it's -- king -- you know -- crazy plan that they've put together the privilege decimate MBTA service for our. There are visible way just making people sit in traffic try always."

" trying to get home steadily Easter dinner with their family."

" It's exactly to generate support to try to get you know to show how terrible things started try to you know get support for this gas tax increase and I don't think that they realize what they're doing it actually going to boomerang you know in the matter people Garrett you know the more you're gonna just demand in total change."

" You know we're just the world on them in Springfield right now WHY and we just got a call off fair. Texas five in check of -- 11 toll collector on its its rush hour."

" Exactly you know if so what they should do is just capable stalemated that are going to man come. You know and and particularly you know the thing about the turnpike is they know historically how many people probable for those boos every day of the year. So they know that Easter Sunday it was one of the busiest days of the year. But yet they decided to implement this policy on the second and third shots meaning that they news though is the busiest times of one of the busiest days a year."

" Right -- idol win every Sunday that's drug told the story before I go in every Sunday around 630 get to The -- to pick up -- 630 going through wall stood. There's there's always at least two when usually three toll takers 6:30 in the morning and then not do -- cowboys -- wonder worked that shift because he you don't have to work right now. -- man but I kept thinking that I -- You know there were two people work him last Sunday when I went through with 6:30 AM and then I kept thinking about it. All that there were there wars only one person during what was basically a rush hour later in the day how could that be how they have a monitor earlier in the day but not have LaMont when they're needed."

" It doesn't make any sense and I again you know further -- situation that was planned you know somebody's sat there and put the schedule together. Knowing full well you know mom by reducing the number of people on the post -- but more."

" True -- OK did how we see okay at -- thank."

" You know a lot from what I understand -- there -- a lot of people looking at this rate -- and I understand one of the TV stations is somehow got beloved so. Ferraro who was working and who wasn't and you know I think the more people look into this. Well they just where this is -- Mike Dukakis the fish rots from the head."

" Yeah speeches full responsibility therefore have absolutely no one else's decision mine. -- that's over a chapter was caught."

" So they can you know I think saying people should really be paying attention right now because these -- the types of things that are being done. You know but again to try to generate support for the gas tax increase some more money good money after bad."

" Now there's another rumor going around that that -- rich the head of the turnpike. -- ordered 35000. New transponders. A few weeks ago -- these things were we're not exactly a flying off the shelves."

" You know you heard that today that sort of going around the state are still and that could explain it because you know when he was asked about this initially. First blunder on the poll takers which obviously. You know it wasn't their fault very minded on the commuters and not enough people were using these transponders. You know maybe a loose you know way to try to sell more transponders or get more people signed up but you know what good is having its transponder kitchen area near the boot."

" Right that's -- yeah that's that's the point that everybody made you know even the people with transponder -- it would've done me any good if it didn't do me any good to have a transponder idea I just don't I don't understand that and why do you think there's going to be no backlash from anybody."

" Earlier this service is -- arrived at the end of the Dukakis administration. You know it's one thing after another and hey -- who's really goes to wield -- fallen off the wagon. Evocative term I can change in the governor's office right now."

" I would think in the same thing -- you know one thing they I can't quite decide do you think that the patronage. Hiring. Practices and they seem to be totally out of control and I'm I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that this may be a worst. Panorama going on than in the days of the Dukakis administration we're out."

" I tell you these people are really good at it. The better than him anybody. Yeah and apparently just really good discussion people I mean the term perspective -- more people are imparted any other state agencies. And people haven't been paying attention. But the last two years all of these street administrative accounts where most of -- managers and me and level -- commissioner's press secretaries. It was all. All of the concert just become bloated so you know there's there's so many people have been stopped all over the place here you go at least before our work 120 here as well. So it puts a Republican governor as a lot of relatives and friends to the big European."

" Yeah I -- agencies like the DC are you know I know Mitt Romney wanted to change that name from the metropolitan district commission but fit the DC are they ever had under MBC days very."

" Stiller it's it's gravy -- you know what. A couple months ago the turnpike which is considered bankrupt and broke they give -- 160000. -- and raising district thirteen managers. You know so sequels. So about a 160000. And yet they can't -- thousand dollars to keep the lights on in the day from bridge. Yeah I mean there you know there have been trying to stuff going on to state government right now it's crazy."

" Just need a Republican candidate for governor Ritchie to say actually not a -- well maybe. To prop up her partner Charlie see an early do you see on your horizon though I'm I'm what can I don't see too many people out there right now."

" But you know I think at this time. And 290899. Do you no you know. Somebody will merger especially if -- about goals -- Keep one after another keeps -- and people -- really stand the people conceive for what's going on him in the governor's run and around trying to tell people is a reformer but. They see the Marian Walsh situation they see the way the term I expand our and they see that all these people were being stopped and all these agencies. Yeah I mean people concede Jordan and I think it's against the so."

" The Marian Walsh thing was the worst thing that he could have done but he talked himself for his administration topped himself on Sunday."

" That's -- I play on American what's fascinating about the Marian Walsh situation once can you imagine you know the state is taken on water. -- and something that we're going down. And get over the governor's office the chief of staff that he has nothing better to do them be sitting in his office wearing a job descriptions and job postings. To try to get her it would job. And if that's what's going on on a day to day basis and that office where they are more trouble than most people from."

" I enjoyed the memo where they were complaining that the globe had been infiltrated by tabloid journalists from Harold. I think -- pretty soon so why exactly. You know within the nice thing about the globe is you know -- they've they finally woken up to the problem after all these years you know I think you may be a little late but you know I'm I'm I'm glad to have them on the same team says that Carol. Working on this stuff through other competitors well Lara -- we appreciate should be aware of us here and I keep us informed about the they know what else is going on here okay thank you technology. Lets us senator Richard to say from Wakefield I believe and he's a he sees the Republican minority leader. Talking about this some memo that the -- the the there was a memo -- around in the -- on the turnpike on Friday night. Predicting. Think of the potential problems -- this is no April fool's joke on a happy Easter god help solve this is about the cutbacks -- they know what was going to happen."

" This happened two days ago something -- during any answers we're -- head of the entire -- as well."

" I'm the chair of the turnpike board. And I am also the chairman of the MBTA employed and well and as I mentioned I had -- Chamberlain meaning that less than most of the afternoon -- so we are dealing with the in due course and I will make sure. That whoever needs to be Dracula movie pregnant timely yeah."

" But timely manner. Like this -- artist near her when she called anatomy is agencies like the -- chairman equals sudden my buck."

" again this is the guy who according to reliable sources. Said. On. These in December on December 18 supposedly. That anybody who didn't have a transponder was a bleeping -- It didn't do me any good to have a transponder on Sunday -- did it it didn't didn't mean. You got to the toll Booth any faster because all the lanes were blocked because there were no toll collectors aren't there there was one per. Per site most places and now and now tonight boy they've certainly learned their lesson haven't they haven't checked -- page. And -- five where they've got water the toll taker. One."

" I mean is my idea I did it I told people were Antonio Freeman over the last year trying to cut down on -- take his."

" That's bull -- home. I got a letter from a toll taker Dicey -- copy use the toll taker. Mail a copy of his request that they put out these riff. Proposal you know world we will lie get ready if you'll sign this document you get so many weeks of severance so many weeks of healthcare etc. et cetera this guys signed did an October. He sent it to me in February they had done in the thing about it in five months had been trying to get. Taken care -- and eased out the door for five months -- they would nor did they wouldn't respond. To his inquiries."

" Oh man 018774694322. M by the way we got that we are more big tax stories coming at that Harrell I don't know if they're coming tomorrow or Friday but won't we've got to. -- we've got a couple I know.
