Are you directing your ire
Are you directing your ire at the policy in general of double pensions for such officials, or at Marzilli himself? I was amazed that such a reward was available to all politicians who failed to become re-elected after 20 years.
Also, shouldn't the fact that he resigned affect his candidacy for the bonus? I'd hardly call that "not getting re-elected," even if his name did remain on the ballot.
Seriously?
Were you really surprised that a law like this exists? This is Massachusetts.
The law sucks, yes
Marzilli sucks even more for trying to take advantage of it.
End of year poll
I think you should take an end-of-year poll of topics that you'll never cover again, for all of 2009.
This is one of the ones I wish would go away. Forever.
I hear a big "I told you so"
I hear a big "I told you so" coming. Howie... Howie Carr,,, is that you? Yes, Howie, you were right.
Marzilli sounds like a disgusting lout.
He doesn't belong in office.
And he isn't.
He resigned.
Oh, you mean-spirited bastards!
I thought the poor guy was suffering from a disease, and
we all needed to be compassionate and understanding?
Where are all those Marzilli-enablers who defended
him and excused the Lowell grope-a-thon as the result
of a debilitating illness? Isn't this greed-headed grab
just another symptom of the same "medical condition?"
