GE protesters brave cold, snow

As GE, city and state officials told reporters about all the wonderful things GE will bring to Boston in a warm room upstairs at 60 State St., about 50 protesters marched outside downstairs to protest everything from the tax breaks GE will get here to the use of its jet engines by Israeli warplanes.

I'm no fan of this GE thing.

I'm also no fan of our public records laws. This is really making me want to break my own rule and donate to this:

I agree, those emails could be very interesting.

Too late!

Sadly, that funding request wasn't met.

I thought about donating, but honestly why won't Boston Mag, the Globe, Herald, Commonwealth Mag, etc... cough up the $1500? It's pretty much their public obligation, no?

I see a bunch of people

Who aren't going to be invited to the helipad grand opening gala.

Looking forward to GE coming to my neighborhood.

I am looking forward to GE coming to my neighborhood.

Having more high paying jobs in SoBo can only be a good thing.

Where is this "SOBO" neighborhood...

Where is this "SOBO" neighborhood you speak of? /s

Seriously, can we stop using that?!?! It's "Southie" or South Boston.
