Reaganesque hagh? Did you read todays Globe, Herald or Union Leader? The guy you so proudly grew up with has a fear of leading and a fear of fat matt Amarillio or the death of this woman very well could have been avaoided, a one term Gov--correction 1 term as a gutless, weak Governor doesn't entitle him to a 2nd term much less the White House--

Mitt was sworn in as Governor in January 2003, FOUR YEARS LATER. Most reasonable people would conclude that Mitt had nothing to do with the shoddy, Union workmanship that took place years before he even ran for governor.
From the Big Dig website: "The project has been under construction since late 1991. Preliminary design began in the 1980's and final design began in the late 1980's. As of the summer of 2004, construction was 94 percent complete."
So, by the time Mitt was sworn into office, the project was already over 90 percent completed. Again, a reasonable person would conclude that Mitt had nothing to do with the crappy work done on either the Ted Williams tunnel (which was opened in 1995, 7 to 8 years before Mitt was sworn in.), the bridge (which was completed in 1999 (four years before Mitt) or the depression of the central artery (which was well underway in 2003).
So, according to your theory, the Big Dig, which has been in the works for 25 years, with all of it's related corruption, hackery and political glad handing, is all the fault of the man who has held the office of governor for the last 3 years. Your conclusion indicates an irrational political bias that is not supported by any facts.
"For several years, Romney has called for the resignation of Turnpike Authority chairman Matthew J. Amorello over management of the $14.6 billion Big Dig.
Amorello, a former state senator with strong ties to legislative leaders, has steadfastly refused to give up his $223,000-a-year post. Nevertheless, Romney was expected to effectively take control of the board this month when he filled a vacancy on the board, Romney's third appointment on the five-member board since taking office in 2003.
But in May the state Senate slipped an amendment into the budget that would deny Romney his third appointment by extending the term of the incumbent board member, Jordan Levy, who is an ally of Amorello.
The veto planned today would reject the budget amendment that would extend Levy's term.
Guess you must have missed that article.
