GOVERNOR PATRICK OPPOSES SHORT TERM TRANSPORTATION FIX, VALUES GENERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

BOSTON – Governor Deval Patrick today responded to the Joint House and Senate Leadership transportation proposal, making clear that the proposal does not meet the immediate or long-term needs of the Commonwealth. The Governor discussed how together, with the Legislature, the Administration has built a track record of reforms and policies that will leave a stronger Commonwealth for future generations, and that he cannot support this bill, as is, which puts off necessary investments in our transportation and education system.
