Voting Picks

My picks for the voting booth on Tuesday November 4th 2014.

I am very pleased that the Governors race has stayed so close right up until the end of the campaign. With that said my choice for the Governors seat will be with Martha Coakley. I do however like Charlie Baker a great deal also but a few years back I did vow not to vote for a republican as I believe the policy of trickle down economics has out grown itself and all it will do in Mass now is slow down our economy right when we need it to keep it building. Yes we need to watch our spending, but the people who need help are getting it and putting good use to the value of their jobs, homes and families. Also you can not over look the fact that Coakley has been the only candidate speaking about mental health. While the issue is not getting much traction, she has been a leader on this effort and a person who has not been afraid to talk about a dark part of peoples lives and families that need to be addressed. God forbid that we will have another school shooting in the near future with out government addressing policy toward identifying mental health issues and gun control.

Lt Governor. Steve Kerrigan.

Treasure. Mike Heffernan.

State Auditor. Susann Bump.

Secretary of State. Bill Galvin

Also we won't forget our old friend Tom Kienzler running in the 58th out of Enfield Ct. Go get them Tom.

The most important thing is that you go and cast your ballot, you really do not have a say if you don't vote and be heard. I have one of the longest voting records in my ward. Not because of my age either, I have just never missed a chance to vote. Whether it is a national election or special election I have never missed since 1981.


One of My new favorites for fall color is this Sour Wood. Has great white trailing flowers in late summer that lasts all the way to autumn color of brilliant red. Spectacular, sometimes hard to get and cultivate. But well worth the time and effort.

Well Good Luck to all the candidates in this Falls election and hopefully Paul Ryan runs for President. That may be the only Republican I would vote for.
