Since everybody is so quick to put the president’s head on the chopping block, first try taking a look at your own pitiful governor. If anyone deserves to be impeached, it’s him.

How can someone who holds such an office care so little about the people in his own commonwealth? I’m referring to his administration plan to close of two of the four remaining state centers for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities over the next few years. He should be ashamed of himself for closing homes people have lived in almost their whole lives, just like his administration is trying to do to our local special needs people by forcing them out of workshop programs and into the community.

Maybe he needs more money to build Taj Mahal-type walls along the turnpike (that nobody can afford to use) or more lanes that are empty a lot of the time. Maybe we could even put a bike lane in there somewhere.

This governor can’t take care of what we have, but he wants more. Imagine that. It’s amazing what these big shots try to do with other people’s money, yours and mine — not theirs.
