The verdict is in. We taxpayers, of course, already knew this. The laundry list of taxes that were raised on us did not result in more revenue for Beacon Hill. Is anyone surprised?
Maybe, just maybe, our representatives will do what they should have done YEARS ago: reform. Make that BOLD reform.
I have a few suggestions for our legislators. How about a hiring freeze? That's an easy one. They don't even have to work too hard at that. As of September, almost 2000 jobs had been added to the state payroll. No, you don't need new reading glasses.
Here's another real easy one to save a couple bucks. Eliminate Bunker Hill Day and Evacuation Day. What? You've never heard of them? That's because they're specific to Suffolk County, although state employees in other counties get them as floating holidays. So it was surprising when some state reps fought so viciously to keep these holidays.
And last, but not least, pension reform, pension reform, pension reform. Need I say more?
About Me
- Shaunna O'Connell
- I see a need for bold change on Beacon Hill, so I am taking action and running for State Representative in my hometown of Taunton, Massachusetts. We need to put government back in the hands of the people, and that starts with electing new candidates who are committed to serving the needs of the people they represent. Help me bring accountability and public service back to Beacon Hill.
