Massachusetts Governor Withdraws Half of Promised Raise
December 13, 2006
A pair of articles in the Boston Globe skewers Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney for first vetoing a $10 a week pay raise promised by the legislature to direct-care workers, then approving half that amount.
''Neville Pottinger is accustomed to elected officials playing politics with his paycheck,'' begins Caregivers Pay the Price, ''but he will never understand why the first workers targeted in budget battles on Beacon Hill so often are the ones with incomes so low that many qualify for food stamps.''
In Great Divide is Growing, the paper calls the cuts ''as needless as they were cynical.''
