OpEd – Why Massachusetts Needs Jay Gonzalez

Gwen Holbrow’s op-ed published in Metrowest Daily News

The Metrowest Daily News has published the op-ed piece written by FDC member Gwen Holbrow in which she makes a strong case for the election of Democratic nominee Jay Gonzalez over incumbent govenor Charlie Baker.

In this op-ed Gwen writes about the perception that Baker is good manager, stating that “Baker is a Poor Manager. Baker uses the Republican strategy of promising lower taxes and then using decreased revenue to justify cutting services. Baker’s campaign site says “Major reforms to the MBTA have improved reliability for riders, and cost savings have led to a more efficient system.” Riders know the MBTA is a mess.”
