FROM OUR PRINTED OCT. 1 EDITION

MASSACHUSETTS – The charts shown in the center of this publication [and attached below for online viewing] say it all: Gov. Charlie Baker, the highest elected Republican official in Massachusetts, the would-be voice of the Republican Party, the titular head of the Republican Party, has not only failed to grow the Party during his tenure, indeed, he’s overseen its decline.
Giving a free-pass to so many House (83%) and Senate (89%) Democrats, year-after-year-after-year, has enabled the Democrats to build a stronghold on seats and finances.
The number of Republican elected officials at the State House represents but a footnote, a pittance.
Charlie started with a Democrat super-majority in the House and Senate, and he’s either by design or by incompetence, kept it that way. Charlie gets an F- grade, only because there’s no lower grade.
REPUBLICANS SHOWN IN RED. DEMOCRATS SHOWN IN A SEA OF BLUE, MOST UNCHALLENGED.

It was in the news recently that Baker and N.H. Governor Sununu refused to sign a letter to the U.S. Senate urging confirmation of Ms. Barrett. I guess Sununu doesn’t like the way Mr. Trump has stood up to China and is restoring Made in the USA. After all his daddy and the first President Bush gave so much of our industry to China in the early 1990’s. Baker has had so many scandals in state government under his watch. The Mass State Police are the most scandal ridden state police agency in the nation. Mass roads, medical examiners offices, environmental police, children’s services etc. are among the lowest ranked in the nation. Even Deval Patrick ran the state better. Baker plays go along to get along with DeLeo and the other self serving Democrats on Beacon Hill.
