Gabrieli launches his harshest attack on Patrick
By Lisa Wangsness, Globe Staff
Democrat Christopher Gabrieli this morning described gubernatorial rival Deval Patrick as "out of touch with the mainstream views of Massachusetts," launching his harshest attack yet on Patrick.
Speaking at a charter school in Roxbury, Gabrieli said many voters were trying to decide between him and Patrick, and he thought it was important for him to describe the differences between them.
He pointed to Patrick's opposition to more charter schools, to a lower state income rate and support for letting children of illegal immigrants pay instate tuition at public universities.
Gabrieli ignored the third Democrat in the primary race, Thomas F. Reilly. Later in the morning, Reilly delivered a speech to a political science class at UMass Boston.
