Yeah, I know times are tight all over. But Massachusetts is in a total f*ing mess. I'm fearful for my job, and the jobs of many of my colleagues. What I haven't been able to determine is, where exactly did all the money go? "Revenue streams have dried up" is the usual response, as if someone turned off a money faucet, or decided unilaterally to dam the revenue river and not open the floodgates. We're talking depression-like spending limits here, folks, and whether you can blame it on the Big Dig, September 11th, or the MCAS tests, our elected officials have screwed something up. One of them, Tom Finneran, doesn't want to hear anything from UMass about budget cuts. Not only are his comments offensive, he doesn't even have an email address on his web page so we can respond to this drivel.
