Deval Patrick expands state debt by $3 billion

With our high gas taxes which the Democrat house is talking about hiking again, with our "temporary tolls" on the Mass Pike climbing almost every month, why does our state need to borrow $3 billion for simple infrastructure repairs? Where is all of that money going to? Take home cars for Turnpike employees? Six figure pensions for Billy Bulger and Marty Meehan while paying their UMass salaries? The countless hordes of other double dippers on state payrolls?

Maybe Massachusetts should have stuck to the old formula of electing a Republican governor to act as adult supervision over the legislature, because Deval Patrick is leading the state towards a junk-bond rating.
