This election comes at a crucial time in the state's history as the cost of living continues to rise, more people are leaving Massachusetts than coming in, and crime is up and the quality of public education seems to be going down.Well, obviously with all of those bad things happening to the Commonwealth, we must need to go in a new direction. Certainly any logical thinker would make the connection that with so much going wrong, we should look to elect someone who hasn't been in the corner office for the last four years. Right?
In addition, voters must realize that all taxpayers - workers, homeowners and businessowners - are footing an increasingly growing bill to pay to educate, care for and sometimes house illegal immigrants. Massachusetts is at a crossroads and needs a strong leader to help put the Commonwealth back on the right track to prosperity, public safety and excellence in education.
That's why we're endorsing Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey for governor.It's no surprise that the Sentinel and Enterprise endorsed Kerry Healey--editor Jeff McMenemy wrote a column (disguised as a news article on their website) two weeks ago essentially parroting the Lt. Governor's talking points. But if they are going to do it, at least they could make an argument for Healey that is based on logic.
There may be a lot of good reasons to vote for Kerry Healey (although I can't think of one off the top of my head), but arguing that we need to elect her to fix all of the problems that have worsened in the four years that she has been in office is illogical lunacy.
