Kerry Healey - Another Fish Story?

Kerry Healy is doing her best to redefine herself. Just a few days ago, she was visiting with New Bedford fishermen, and vowing to fight fishing regulations. And then, despite years of being prochoice, she refused to fill out a survey by Planned Parenthood. And now, the Lt. Governor is trying to make the voters believe that she will hold down local property taxes. This is the same woman who made Everett her very first visit on her "goodwill tour" during the state budget cuts in 2003. Kerry's job on behalf of the Romney administration during the good will tour was to look at city and town budgets, and to "explain" why the state government was reneging on the Cherry Sheet promises and how local taxpayers had to pick up the tab through local taxes, particularly if there was "room" on the tax levy. Mayor Ragucci remarked in the Leader Herald at the time that he hoped that Everett would not be penalized. We took a 3/4 million dollar hit that year. That sounds like a penalty to us!

Kerry Healey...not your local property tax crusader. We hate to call it a fish story, but that's exactly what it is.
