Good Luck Chuck...

Let me enter a brief if predictable note of dissent as Charlie Baker is sworn in as Governor. My expectations are low to non existent, Charlie lacks charisma, he was elected by hundreds of thousands of ticket splitters which give him little hold over the legislature, his moderate GOP bona fides were largely the creation of fantasists at the Boston Globe & his public admin record was wracked up twenty years ago in very different times. I have a dread feeling in my gut he will bungle and bungle badly the current budget shortfall into some unimaginable catastrophe...nearly every Governor in living memory has had to deal with one, but trust me, Charlie will Make A Hash of It.
