Serious question for all seven of my readers...

Doesn't Former Governor Bill Weld rate a pension from the Commonwealth of some type? Feel franchise to respond factually in the now open Comments Field. If Weld doesn't get a pension then maybe the State Legislature should intervene because Bill has come back to Massachusetts with empty pockets and time on his hands & has registered as a LOBBYIST on Beacon Hill! What he drank up all his money on the Upper West Side of Manhattan...or did Susan Roosevelt rook him good in the dee-vorce? What ever it is, there is something distinctly gamey about a Former Governor of the Commonwealth Lobbying the Commonwealth on behalf of any private entity. Bad enough ex state legislators do, you can make an argument though it's mostly what they did when they were in office anyway... But a Former Governor is supposed to uphold certain standards yo'. Ah but this is Bill Weld we are talking about, a famous enabler of the Bulger Crime Family and the Beloved Favorite of Boston Globe Columnists near and far. If Bill Weld announced for Public Exploder in Cambridge Ma, Morrissey Blvd would shudder, endorse his boney ass and flop over on it's stomach within twenty four hours. The man's Svengali like hold on the imaginations of certain local journalists is as firm as ever despite all those gin martinis.

Don't you need 10 years service for a state pension? Not sure if Weld makes the cut after he cut his governorship short.
