RE: The DCR's Outrageous "Explanation" for Environmental Destruction: BU Bridge
Governor Patrick
I attended a DCR meeting in Boston concerning environmental destruction as part of the BU Bridge reconstruction.
Contracting types were rather clearly invited by the DCR and it was kept secret from and made as inconvenient as possible for decent human beings.
Flat out lies, as is the custom with the DCR, were the norm on the key environmental issues.
My analyses of the proposal and the flat out lies may be read at:

And at:

I have previously suggested you fire at least two of the most irresponsible of the DCR people. The people spouting these latest flat out lies should join them.
Thank you.

3. Summary.
My evaluation of Governor Patrick is that it is impossible to distinguish between him and the DCR Bureaucrats and the Cambridge Pols.
I see no reason to change that opinion.
