    Casinos, Casinos, Casinos. 43 states have legalized slots or casinos. The Boston area has one of the strongest demos to gamble in the country. We go to other states to gamble when the money belongs here. Figure it out with DeLeo and Therese Murray and get it done. It means jobs and revenue.

    1.  He should lead a top down clean out of elected officials, appointees and stater emplyees engaged in corrupt paractices (aka business as usual in Mass).
    2.  Bring more jobs by lowering the taxes.  Become a business friendly state.
    3.  Lead by example. (one with integirty)  Deval has proven to be too arrogant.  I see nothing but a self servant.
    4.  For leadership positions-conduct a national search for qualified managers with good track records.  Do not rely on unqualified hacks.  Deval has placed a lot on incompetent people in higher office.
    5.  Provide service for the fees.  Currently, the Turnpike and MBTA do not render services for the fees being charged.
    6.  Fire the Parole Board and the entire Probation Office.

    Abandon, revoke, or completely disregard his "New Americans Agenda" and focus time and energies on creating job opportunities and improving the economy for American Citizens and legal immigrants in Massachusetts.

    Stop spending us into oblivion is what I'd ask.  In fact, cut the size of state government and stop wasting money on trying to be the do all/be all for everyone.  Government can't do that and shouldn't try.

    That is why we are not a democracy.

    I think he was including Republics in that.  At least, he was certainly warning us.
