The Globe today writes about how few people know what the state spends its money on. The Outraged Liberal wonders if that's because of how few stories the Globe writes about what the state spends its money on:

... Do a search of the Globe online and the stories about the state budget process are few and far between. The ones that do appear are formulaic. The governor proposes.

Then a quick enactment vote followed 10 days later by a signing, replete with veto messages.

Nothing to kick that fire or traffic accident or in-depth view of lobstering off Metro front. ...
