Deval Patrick has been in the headlines for misuse of State Police helicopters for personal transportation. He has also been in the news lately for trying to impose a sales tax on aircraft used by his subjects. I learned today that Patrick has been shopping for a private jet to be paid for by the taxpayers. Patrick has his eye on an $11 million Lear 45. Deval Patrick was elected governor of a state that can be traversed north-south in about 1 hour by car and east-west in less than 2 hours. Why would he need a transcontinental private jet? To go to New York City to see the bankers from whom the state will have to borrow money to pay for his expanded spending programs? There are commercial flights every 30 minutes that leave from Logan Airport, just a 10-minute ride by limousine from the State House. To go to Washington, D.C. to hobnob with his fellow Democrats? There is a commercial flight every hour Monday through Friday.
Together we can pay for Deval’s luxuries, like a private jet.
Deval Patrick's Massachusetts is Barak Obama's United States. Still planning to stay home on election day to "send a message"?
Deval Patrick is another “affirmative action” success story ...

Who does this guy think he is, the governor of Alaska?
Mass. has gooten exactly what they voted for....a CROOKED DUMBASS.

Have you seen the movie “Soul Plane”?
Normally I’d say that he wants the jet because it’s a chick magnet.But in his case...
“Snakes on a Plane”
Captain Deval: This is your soul plane chauffeur Captain Deval speaking. Welcome aboard NWA flight 069 from the 310 to the 212. It’s time to bust this coney y’all. In a hot second, I’ll be hittin’ them switches and gettin’ this bitch pumpin’ and jumpin’. So screw your sh*t on tight and enjoy the flight.
Anybody know the % of the Black vote Coup Deval got?
That said, I chuckled at the “east-west in less than 2 hours.”
Well, I suppose it could. As long as you don't get hauled over for speeding. I used to live just 5 miles from the N.Y. state border - to get to Boston in 2 hours, you'd be doing dome serious MPH’s
Together we con. CoupeDeval.com
In Alaska it is pretty easy to make a case that the governor should have an airplane. The only controversy should be about what kind.
Good news: could be gone soon. Bad news: it would be
because he’d be headed for his pal Barack’s Cabinet.
Google say 2 Hrs 22 Min, Pittsfield to Boston. Pittsfield to Provincetown would be lots longer.
Even then does Arnold have a jet to get around California? How about the governor of New Mexico?
Governor Palin sold Alaska's jet.
Yeah, but at least Massachusetts has "Fisting for Third-Graders" in its government school curriculum.
How many other states can brag about that?
