No background checks, really Deval. I guess you don't mind having someone on your staff being accused of sexual assault on a child. You are a strange man, with warps values.

who is the governor protecting? It certainly isn't the interests of the citizens of MA.

You have to wonder if the State House Corner Office space occupier has ever spoken to the Nevada or New Jersey gambling commission officials to find out why their operating rules are so strict. It seems pretty obvious that he has not, and that he is so permissive that he probably thinks it a civil rights violation to do a background check on Massachusetts Gambling Commission staff that is anything more than the newspaper clips scan that was done on the Commission's first short-lived executive director. Besides, there must be a fear in the space offupier's skull that stiff pre-employment checks might prove barriers to any of the out-of-work Demohacks that don't survive in their elective plums next November.
