GM has been serving the best -- American style was clean for over 25 years starting Thursday visit W -- failed dot com slash hurts. When you could buy a fifty dollar gift certificate to begin restaurant for just 45 dollars."

" To win call 6179311680. New England perks from Boston's talk station AM six AB WRKO. Okay. Stories in the paper today. Governor Patrick. Pushing job creation plan. Governor Deval Patrick and legislative leaders are rolling out plants. That's -- god what a nice cliched true curtain lead that is rolling out plans. They hope will encourage job growth by easing pressure on businesses. Okay Patrick said he will unveil his new fifty million dollar tax credit for small business plan to make available point five million in loans to small businesses and a proposal to freeze unemployment insurance rates which are set to rise April 1. Joining us now on the news line is Charlie Baker he is the Republican candidate for governor. Charlie I first of all I didn't see you're out on the Super Bowl last night."

" You know how and where we're gonna wait a little bit before we get into that realm I think there's probably a little more -- between now and the election when the people really start paying attention sort of thing."

" Anyway what do what do you make of the governor's up propose there with that with the house speaker and the Senate president what do you make of their plants to. Get the economy moving."

" Well I'm off -- tell the truth come off or return emerged talking about I've been talking about consolidating agencies and consolidating like denying. They continue to do workforce development of five agencies that do emerging technology development in -- we have so many independent entities doing one thing or another. That I am actually -- the usual undertake valor and but I must say the rest of us. You know it's funny. I've been out -- in the small business crucial five months and before that erode our parliament a lot of my customers bed. What they were treated me at all about -- policy regulatory policy are the energy costs of doing business permit thing. You know blocking and tackling stuff. And the notion that somehow you know. A month before an election this administration heavily discovered that people are worried about jumping comes up put a couple of people who like their web. It's really about both the hard stuff you know cutting tractors reining in government spending creating government that people can understand. And given small bitter crucial breathing room drilling was called out."

" the thing about what Terry Murray though is proposing about -- all these agencies were just talking with Americana about you you know this the suppose -- consolidation of all the transportation agencies. -- yeah we brought stories in the in The Herald about the fact that they could -- supposedly consolidated but nobody has been laid off you know they are -- at five PR people for one agency where -- if you know. No no one lost their job and any of this stuff it is I would just think the same thing's gonna happen here."

" Got a -- I mean -- that figure out what the wrong thing to do about it what happened then there's a huge missed opportunity. But I I personally think we ought to be consolidating agencies all over state government. And -- doubt it translated to a reduction in headcount. That's until everybody tighten their belts -- including almost businesses that the government should probably -- felt they government should be -- they're -- still."

" he also you know I I don't think he really meant for this to get out immediately was probably saving this for further down the road but it's it. It's this this whole thing about. Going after the toll takers on the Mass Pike G what do what a nice time to to begin his. His G -- in other words are sorry. I mean right not a pro toll taker but still that's rather cynical isn't it."

" No evidence pure -- to talk to the trucking industry for example they would tell -- is. It's -- double in my truck registration treaty without hearing without warning which is what we did this past summer.
