Hack-A-Mania!!!!!

So Deval Patrick finally cans friend, donor and campaign chairman!

.....and then hired a few more hacks.

Now I'm a little befuddled as to where this money is all coming from to hire new staffers? Joe Landolfi is replacing Nancy Fernandez Mills, who's not really being fired, just being placed somewhere else in the administration, likely doing nothing, but retaining her salary. So that's not really a replacement, that's an addition. Dave Morales who was Senate President Robert Travaglini's 'chief of staff' and will go from $80,000 a year in that job and his salary will be bumped up to $100,000 even.

It's likely Patrick will use his firing of his wife's 'Secretary' Amy Gorin, whose salary totaled $72,000. So essentially, Patrick is adding $207,000 in salaries right? They're being funded basically out of the dropping of a $72,000 salary. Apparently, there are even more appointments on the way. So far, we've got $135,000 is new money that needs to be allocated for the governor's office and at this pace, it'll top that substantially.

Deval's putting a spin machine together with your money. Excellent.

Speaking of spin machines, The Republican just decided not to cover the reshuffle. At all. It wasn't anywhere on the paper. No mention, nothing. It might as well not have happened out here in Springfield.
