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. Baker has modeled himself as a capable, fiscally prudent manager, but the police scandals have kept him on his heels lately.

DEMS hammer BAKER over new ranking — HOUSE harassment report incoming — LOWELL suing over opioids 02/28/2018 07:13 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  ( ldezenski@politico.com ; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths ( bgriffiths@politico.com ; @BrentGriffiths) RAKED OVER RANKINGS -  Massachusetts' drop on the US News and World Report's ranking of top states  -  from first in the nation to eighth  -  has provided a new opportunity for Democrats to hammer Gov.  Charlie Baker . While  Massachusetts  continues to be the top state in the country for education, it's fallen to 40th for fiscal stability and 45th for infrastructure. The top overall spot is now occupied by Iowa. The criticism over the drop is fair game. Baker himself had repeatedly touted the best-in-the-country ranking from 2017  -  even going so far as to mention it (among over top rankings) in his state of the commonwealth speech this year. And for the Democrats ...

Trump supporters in Pennsylvania embrace his 'obnoxious' personality President Trump arrives for a campaign rally at the Atlantic Aviation in Moon Township, Pa., on Saturday night. (Carolyn Kaster/Associated Press) BY JAMES HOHMANN with Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve THE BIG IDEA: MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa.—How could conservatives be so critical of Barack Obama’s multilateral agreement with Iran to curtail their nuclear program but so supportive of Donald Trump meeting face to face with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un? I posed that question to 30 supporters of the president over three hours on Saturday night as they waited to see Trump speak at a rally outside the Pittsburgh airport, where he campaigned for Republican congressional candidate Rick Saccone ahead of today’s special election. The answers had nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with personality. “To me, Obama was a butt-kissing liberal. Trump is Teddy Roosevelt. He just mi...
