wonder what happens with LG office now—does Patrick appoint someone? Surely not an election. Wonder who is second in line and would take charge if Patrick’s ill or out of town—my guess is Sec. of the Commonwealth Bill “The Prince of Darkness” Galvin (nickname from his days in the legislature, late night bill passing)
Maybe Patrick will appoint Barney Frank, who was disappointed he didn’t get the Senate gig.
>>BOSTON (CBS) Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray was in a car accident early Wednesday morning in Sterling. He was not seriously hurt, but his vehicle a state-issued Ford was totaled. State Police say the car has a value of about $9,000. At the State House later in the morning, Murray told reporters he was driving alone up Interstate 190 to look at storm damage and was headed back south when he hit a patch of ice on the road around 5:30 a.m.
