Carr: Boston 2024 is Deval Patrick’s not-so-secret revenge
http://www.bostonherald.com/news_opinion/columnists/howie_carr/2015/06/carr_boston_2024_is_deval_patrick_s_not_so_secret_revengeCarr: Boston 2024 is Deval Patrick’s not-so-secret revenge
Howie Carr
June 11, 2015
If you liked the Deval Patrick administration, you’ll love Boston 2024.
Because, as becomes clearer every day, what was the most incompetent and corrupt administration in the history of Massachusetts has now transformed itself. Deval’s Revenge has taken on a new name — Boston 2024, a bold new racketeering enterprise concocted by the city’s entrenched kleptocracy to steal billions of dollars more from the taxpayers.
The latest evidence that Boston 2024 is Deval is the story in this newspaper about how the bar-exam-failing fraud was running a massive slush fund to pay for his junkets, excuse me, trade missions.
Deval, of course, now runs with Boston 2024. His skim, his “end,” was to be $7,500 a day, until he got busted.

Another of Patrick's 'missteps' is the Cape Wind Project.
