Governor Romney will allegedly propose a "reform" tonight in his state of the state speech that will include the fusion of the state highway department and the turnpike authority. Ever mindful of the needs of his beloved suburban independents the Governor will assert that this somehow will allow the Commonwealth to either scrap the Tollbooths or give every deserving Romney voter a flying car that runs on a cup of tap water.
This latest reform will join an every lengthening list of gubernatorial fads and proposals that have gone just exactly nowhere.
They include:
Auto insurance reform.
Legislative reform by way of packing the Great and General Court with a bunch of toadying nerds.
"Poverty" reform...in which dopey parents of dopey kids will be sent to re-education classes if their darling troglydytes don't pass the MCAS.
Electric Chair reform.
Big Dig reform...a hopeless mishaugas that puts the Northern Ireland conflict to shame. Mitt has recently gone so far as to fob the whole catastrophe off on the Attorney General hoping that it will sully Reilly's reputation faster than his own.
Reforming the clean elections reform...oh wait he did accomplish this with the co-operation of the hated oligarchs of Beacon Hill.
and of course....
Gay marriage reform...in which a few harmless lovers will be lashed back into the closet by Bishop Romney or his out of state wowsers will know the reason why!
In short, much guff, little accomplishment.
really honestly if there are pay-triots on the rolls of the Mass Turnpile Authority, they need fear nothing tonight...Mitt Romney is on the case their mid afternoon naps are secure.
