D'Amico could not dodge his constituents!

Quoting the Seekonk Star Jan 10, 2009 story... question was asked to Mr. D'Amico if the legislature had considered cutting their salaries in the face of a looming $1 billion budget shortfall. His response to the reporter was the woman was“speaking in generalities” and not to “this issue".

What? How much closer to the issue do you want it to be Mr. Rep? To make matters more insulting was the fact that you knew you were getting a raise. What, $60,000 is not enough? Did we ask you to take this job? On top of your pension, gas mileage, stipends and all the little goodies that come with being a Rep. And to say the next term "we won't hear from you whining." What makes you so sure that you'll even have the job then? Your constituents want results, not someone who thinks he should be dodging questions!

Your November 20008 "Legislative Update" tells us that you "advocated that we spend less and put more money aside for tough economic times." How do explain voting to overturn Governor Patrick's "cost cutting" bills. Your fight against corporate tax loopholes says that in 2004 (when times were good) paid just the minimum corporate income tax of $456, per shame! It's now 2009 and companies are closing or laying off people. Some are even leaving the State! Where are you going to make up that shortfall? With the Telecom tax loophole you ran on two years ago?

The State Legislature under your (you voted for him Wednesday) leader DiMasi, were warned back in the spring of 2008 that bad times were ahead. But no, one of the most irresponsible budgets in State history that you and your leadership passed accelerated the downturn on the economy here without the help of Washington.

Think smart and look ahead Mr. Rep. Your job may not be looking for you 2 years from now!
