This politician is from Chicago, has no experience in the private sector, and is completely over his head in his executive job. No, we are not talking about Barack Obama, we are talking about our own Governor, Deval Patrick. Last week, while our Governor was on a 10-day junket traveling Europe, Fidelity Investments announced it was moving 1,100 of its employees to other states. From its Marlboro facility, employees will be moved to Rhode Island and New Hampshire.
The most idiotic whine from Mr. Patrick: “they did not even let us compete for those jobs!” Spoken like a true leftist-without-a-clue. Massachusetts is competing with other states for all jobs, every day. And competing poorly. The costs of healthcare, the costs of insurance, the costs of government, the cost of power, are all working against Massachusetts in its effort to attract corporations that will hire our people.
This state starts with a serious disadvantage simply due to the weather – to attract and keep the best and the brightest, it should be working harder than every other state to create a business-friendly environment. But our Governor apparently does not even realize there is a competition going on. So our best jobs and our brightest people continue to move elsewhere. I’m not sure what is more depressing – that Deval Patrick is our Governor, or that he was re-elected.
