Of course, the MA Staties "don't have the time" to do their jobs: their union got laws passed that keep them busy acting as flagmen on road construction jobs.
MA has no flagmen -- but every road job (no mattter how small) does have lots of high-paid State Troopers -- sitting in their idling, expensive, heavily-equipped State cruisers "providing security" -- on high-priced overtime!
Talk about union graft and "featherbedding"!!!
When Patrick gave that answer, I laughed out loud. The dems in Massachusetts don't even bother faking it anymore, they let their contempt for us pour out.
My liberal girlfriend is a Texan living in MA, btw.
