Deval Patrick is not getting off to a good start as governor of Massachusetts. He had the state buy him an expensive car, pay for an aide to his wife and now wants to appoint the husband of one of his biggest supporters to a fairly cushy job. Yes, the husband is probably qualified, but he's retired with an $80,000 a year government pension, his wife is a state senator. Talk about living off the state! How much more money does he want?
There is a great need in this country for the talent and experience of retired people. Many of us are trying to meet that need without being compensated or by receiving token compensation. It's not a bad life and there can be a reasonable level of satisfaction in knowing that you are doing your bit to help your fellow man. Why doesn't the judge join us?
