MASSterList: Not doing enough? | 'Moral purity' | JOB BOARD MONDAY

THE MEDIA HAS GIVEN REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR CHARLIE BAKER A FREE RIDE, IGNORING THE SCANDALS SURROUNDING HIM, THE POLITICAL HACKS WHO PARTIED ON THE TAXPAYERS' DIME, THE CONTINUED FAILURES OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, THE COMMONWEALTH'S BOND RATING DOWN GRADE, DCF'S FAILURES AND MUCH ELSE  AS CHARLIE BAKER HAS CAMPAIGNED FOR RE-ELECTION DURING HIS ENTIRE TERM.   WHERE'S THAT IMPROVED MIDDLEBORO ROTARY, CHARLIE?  FROM JOE BATTENFIELD: The disarray in the state police could become a potent issue in Baker’s re- election campaign, if his Democratic rivals try to exploit it.

Zakim also carried 70 perce...
