Bob Correia blows through a stop sign. Bob Correia hits a 19 year old girl. Mike Rodrigues is in the back seat. The cops ask Mike Rodrigues, "What did you see?" Mike Rodrigues says, "I didn't see nothing man." Obstruction of justice anyone? Vote for Mike "Stop Snitchin'" Rodrigues. Mike never rats out his homies.

But he is the only person running for the Senate who is against gaming in the Commonwealth. My vote may just come down to that one issue. Don't say it is a done deal. If enough anti-casino folks get elected, it IS NOT inevitable.

There is nothing wrong with gaming in the Commonwealth. I can understand people that have a problem with it going where the BioPark was supposed to go but you people who say no to casinos anywhere in the state seem a bit far out there to me. One issue voters also scare the crap out of me.

Sorry you feel that way. In every single case, when a person does some research into the effects of gaming on a community's character, economic well-being, and social effects, they come away not only against gaming in the city in which they live, but against gaming in the entire Commonwealth.

I ask you to investigate this topic. Don't listen to pols who spout job numbers. Question authority and do some simple digging. You don't have to dig very deep to read the truth---and the truth is pretty grim.

Please, do yourself a favor. Don't believe me. Don't believe Flanagan. Don't believe Menard. Do your own study and then report back.

Funny comment about unionizing pigeons, but Rodrigues has not had a consistent voting record supporting labor so do not expect to see it happen! :)

I find it ironic that Coogan and his pals started this blog and try to destroy people...yet he is guilty of the same bullshit. Got to love the "it is OK for me" attitude. I am not surprised!!!

Why do you think "Coogan and his pals started this blog"?

Maybe Coogan the "non policitcian" should check ethics before accepting endorsments and sappy ads from former senators and friends of his uncle who was also in office:

Norton, Thomas C., Docket No. 448

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Docket No. 448
In the Matter of Thomas C. Norton
December 15, 1992
Disposition Agreement



This Disposition Agreement (Agreement) is entered into
between the State Ethics Commission (Commission) and Thomas C.
Norton (Senator Norton) pursuant to Section S of the Commission's
Enforcement Procedures. This Agreement constitutes a consented to
final Commission order enforceable in the Superior Court,
pursuant to G.L. c. 268B, s.4(j)

On December 12, 1990, the Commission initiated,pursuant to
G.L. c. 268B, s.4(a), a preliminary inquiry into possible
violations of the conflict of interest law, G.L. c. 268A, by
Senator Norton. On January 16, 1991, the Commission initiated a
second preliminary inquiry

into possible violations of the financial disclosure law, G.L. c.
268B, by Senator Norton. The Commission concluded these inquiries
and, on February 19, 1992, found reasonable cause to believe that
Senator Norton had violated G.L. c. 268A and G.L. c. 268B, and
authorized the initiation of adjudicatory proceedings. On August
5, 1992, the Commission's Enforcement Division (Enforcement
Division) issued an Order to Show Cause, commencing adjudicatory
proceedings. The Order to Show Cause alleged that Senator Norton
had violated G.L. c. 268A, s.6 and s.23(b)(3), by and in
connection with his supervision of his sister during her
employment by the Senate, and G.L. c. 268B, s.7, by failing to
disclose certain information on his annual Statements of
Financial Interests filed with the Commission. On August 25,
1992, Senator Norton answered the Order to Show Cause, denying
that he had violated the law and stating several affirmative
defenses.[1]

Anon 20:58 9/12, "Coogan should check ethics before accepting endorsements".
Maybe Rodrigues should actually get the endorsement before he tells the world he has it. But then again fabricating endorsements and accomplishments are nothing new to Rodrigues.
