Deval is a multi millionaire also. Made a killing from the Coke stock options from when he worked there. Oh and he worked there just after he was investigating them when he was employed by the United States Attorney Generals Office. Coke couldn't figure a legal way out of the pending indictments so they just hired the guy coming after the company, Coupe Deval.

Ok, but...

It looks like Deval has offered to pay for the decorating and vehicle upgrade. I would agree that the governer's office should look nice, if he's willing to foot the bill, so much the better.

He's also calling for a 5% budget cut throughout many Government functions. So much for a tax and spend liberal.

What was your problem again?

John Ashcroft paid nearly that much to have curtains made to cover the naked women statue at the US Department of Justice.

At least Deval is doing it for the right reasons

Deval is doing it for the right reasons?
Is that like why does a dog lick himself?
Because he can?
Cut him some slack?
NO.
Not a f'n chance.
MY money. MY taxes.
State Police helicopters are for the State Police.
NOT King Deval.
His Highness can park his royal ass in the same vehicle as the last governor.
Lack of planning does not constitute an emergency
Public servant. Allegedly he works for me, since I pay his salary.
And I can already see he is going to abuse that to the hilt.
30-45 days in office?

He IS the elected governor for the serf-sheep of Ma$$holechusetts, so in some sense his office is entitled to the bells and whistles afforded a head of state.

On the other hand ...he's not leading by example, if his aim is to cut government waste.
