The Baker administration was finally supposed to be held accountable today in Boston as hearings were scheduled in front of the State Legislature. An explanation was needed for how Boris Clitoris was able to keep his CDL, and kill 7 bikers in New Hampshire, despite getting a DUI in May that should’ve revoked his license. We now know that there were 53 bins of notifications from other states about licensed Mass drivers who should’ve had their license suspended, sitting in a room in Quincy. To this date no one has been held responsible for this except for Erin Devaney, who took a golden parachute out of town. Meanwhile Secretary of Transportation Stephanie Pollack continues to make over $160,000 a year.
But the meeting never happened because Charlie Baker is covering shit up again.
Massachusetts lawmakers opened and then abruptly suspended their inquiry Monday into troubles at the state motor vehicle department that were exposed by a crash that killed seven motorcyclists. The Legislature’s Joint Committee on Transportation voted to recess just minutes into its oversight hearing after Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration didn’t make some requested officials available for testimony.
Democratic state Rep. William Strauss, the committee’s co-chair, expressed frustration the Republican administration didn’t make certain registry officials available for testimony and also didn’t provide a trove of requested documents. The committee had sought internal correspondences and other registry records and data.
“We owe it under the horrible circumstances of this case to find out information and get the witnesses,” he said.
Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack and Acting Registrar Jamey Tesler had been present and prepared to testify at the hearing. But Pollack warned her agency would not be able to meet the committee’s full request for information and witnesses because of its own investigation into lapses at the registry. She said later the administration will work with the committee on a way forward. Strauss, whose committee lacks subpoena power, said he and fellow committee co-chair Sen. Joseph Boncore will confer with the Legislature’s leadership on next steps.
Baker’s administration has said an ongoing review has led to some 1,600 drivers having their licenses suspended. Baker has also proposed legislation raising the state’s standards for commercial driver’s licenses above federal standards. Under the bill, those applying for a commercial driver’s license would have to demonstrate a history of good driving and would be ineligible if they have been suspended or disqualified from driving at any time in the prior three years.
Is there anyone more openly corrupt in the history of politics than Charlie Baker? He just bends the taxpayers over time and time again and none of it matters because he’s really good at throwing liberals a virtue signaling bone. He has the highest approval rating of any governor in the country and he knows why – because idiots in this state care more about him calling out Trump’s tweets than they do about cleaning up our corrupt institutions like the RMV.
The guy Baker ordered not to speak today was Braintree’s Thomas Bowes, who Baker appointed to head the Merit Rating Board at the RMV.
Here’s his job description.
The Merit Rating Board’s “primary mission is to maintain and update individual driving records and to report this information to Massachusetts auto insurers and other government agencies involved in transportation and public safety.”
You had one FREAKING job – make sure shitheads aren’t driving in Massachusetts. He failed. Its like if Tom Brady forgot how to throw a football and still got to play quarterback for the Patriots. Yet his boy Charlie told him not show show up to answer questions because then he might spill the beans that Pollack and Baker knew about those 53 bins and didn’t do shit about it. This piece of shit contributed to the deaths of seven people. A tragedy that was easily preventable. He has blood on his hands.
This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. The fact that our RMV suspended 1,600 people’s licenses as soon as they cross referenced with out of state agencies, shows you just how much of an abortion this agency is. Luckily Republicans like Steven Howitt, and democrats like William Strauss and Speaker DeLeo are both calling out the bullshit.

Every single state rep and senator should be holding Charlie Baker responsible for this. He is an incompetent jackass never misses an opportunity to chime in on Trump’s tweets:
Governor Charlie Baker called President Trump's weekend comments "racist" and "shameful." https://t.co/Ay7iCL1cqF

Because his only goal in life is to give liberals chub, and in doing so prove that he’s one of the “good republicans.” Calling Trump a racist is how you do that. Fixing the RMV? Not so much.
At the end of the day this all falls on Charlie Baker. This is all happening under his watch, no one is losing their job, and people continue to die due to his gross incompetence.

People just Register your vehicle in Vermont. If the RMV cant be trusted to keep dangerous drivers off the road, then they don’t get to have my revenue. Dont get upset, dont get angry, simply bypass these incompetent fucks.
Holy Family Guy, Batman, did Seth MacFarlane use Thomas Bowes as a model for Peter Griffin? And, does Charlie Shake ‘n’ Baker look like he’s been practicing his best “I pick things up and put them down?”

Just wait. Blind, numb, illiterate, non educated D sheeple will elect Mr. Bowles as mayor of Braintree. As always in Assachusetts the last laugh is on the actual taxpayers.
Why the FUCK is the FBI not investigating these deaths as murders? Because that is exactly what they were, murders caused by some loser(s) not doing their job. Some where in the RMV there is a person whose job it was to be sure those notices were read, and they are covering up for that person or department. At very least it’s negligent homicide. It’s likely Baker and the RMV scumbags all know its a crime, so they are saying nothing because they are afraid of being charged. I’m a proud liberal, and contrary to the fairy-boys label, Mr Baker has never given me a chubbie. Although Ms Warren…
Dude how many more people did the 1,600 license revokees kill? That’s what they don’t want you to know.

He hasn’t officially withdrew from Braintree Mayor race because at this point he doesn’t have to announce what everybody already knows.
Too bad too, I’m sure he had visions of all those envelopes the developers give out so they can squeeze more condos and apartment complexes into that once nice town. I used to cut through that town on my way home, get a bite to eat etc…traffic nightmares
I thought politicians worked for the people that elected them. Government is so fucking corrupt on every level. Wish I could go off the grid and be left alone with fam
I would loved to get outraged, but I don’t really give a shit. I live in Rhode Island, we have our own problems.
I hope this Roger Goodell clone doesn’t run for another office. I’ll have to join ANTIFA and hit the asshole with a cement milkshake.
Mi hermanas a la registrio dame mucho licencios por el Medicado, section 8, EBT, snap y yo vota por la Elizabeth Warren. Pero vende el fentanyl mas dinero ganarse. Viva Carlos Bakero! Chinga estupido gringos.
Dude, did you forget what country you are in?
This is the same MA registry of motor vehicles that makes you take a ticket when you need service and sit on an uncomfortable bench for an hour and a half. Then when your number gets called they tell you oops you waited in the wrong line, you need to do it all over again. You mean that Registry of Motor Vehicles? Why I am not surprised at the monumental incompetence? I expect nothing less and Baker’s lack of action is chilling.
Dude you stop driving when you reached 90? That’s more RI. It’s not that bad anymore. But I’ll admit when they take my picture I keep breaking their cameras
From the RMV web site concerning AAA. One of the few things the RMV has done right.
AAA members can process the following RMV-related transactions at AAA locations throughout Massachusetts:
• Renew your Passenger (class D) and/or Motorcycle (class M) driver’s license
• Replace your driver’s license
• Renew your Massachusetts Identification (Mass ID) card
• Replace your Mass ID
• Renew most vehicle registrations
• Replace most vehicle registrations
• Transfer your registration (limited)
• Replace most vehicle titles
All other transactions must be conducted at an RMV Service Center. Visit the AAA location page for the office you will be visiting for a complete list of RMV services.
You can be in and out of AAA with a license renewal in 15–30 minutes.
yeah, 15-30 minutes of hell, equal to a decade in dog years.
You know how you’re supposed to update your license photo every 10 years? That’s more of a suggestion because you can renew online and click right through that “requirement.”
Not really mister 17th letter of the alphabet guy.
Don’t know about the rest of you, but when I agree with a D about an R, you know the R is a major league dick.
A web site “morning consult” dot com has Tall Deval as the most popular governor in the country.
We are truly fucked. I’d rather have Patrick in office. Patrick was just a dick. Baker is all world in this category. I can’t figure out what R attributes make Baker worthy of being a Republican. Frankly I have no idea what a Republican is anymore.
Tip of the iceberg in this cesspool of a state. Just think, where else can you do nothing and keep your job??? You could fire 2/3 of state workers that make $110 k and above and there would be no change in the way our inefficient bureaucracy operates. Can’t wait to get fuck outta here. 5 years and counting.
They don’t want people to know the bikers were drunk driving.
Mongo impressed. Poopoo head make sentence and sentence make sense.
Good for you, poopoo head.
Mongo sad, that poopoo head is still poopoo head because poopoo head blame victims.
Uncle turtle turd the Baker administration is the same administration that protects your hate speech blog
I’m pretty sure the Bill of Rights protects that.
Dumb fuck.
Squanton post fight in Quincy MA coverup. Time to uncover the
