I will never vote for this hacks hack.

How old is Mr Sears. He looks like a well traveled highway.

Mr Miceli has done a fantastic job for both Tewksbury & Wilmington.
Doug has an ax to grind because Miceli removed him from the Tewksbury Hospital trustees.
Vote for Miceli.

Bobby: Thanks for bringing up the Tewksbury Hospital Trustee issue.

As you know, I served on that Board for 12 years, the final one as Chairman. During this time I incorporated the Tewksbury Hospital Trustees Endowment Inc., a IRC 501 c (3) non-profit Massachusetts corporation which you can find on the Corporations website of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. This vehicle allowed fund raising to occur which supplemented the scant funds the Legislature provided for the patients. The bus we bought allowed patients in wheelchairs to attend Red Sox games and other outings beyond the hospital walls. Some went to Disney Land! This was all with private donations. This, however, did not sit well with "good man" who sees his role as the only one to do a "good job" at Tewksbury Hospital.

This is when Jim sought help from his buddy Deval so Jim could be the only "good man doing a good job." Together they could, and did, increase the Board's "diversity" -- taking a Tewksbury Selectman off and putting a Chelmsford selectman on. This "geographic diversity" was "fabulous", of course, for Wilmington as had no representation on the Board.

Under the law, no Trustee can work at the Hospital and continue to be a trustee. Deval's appointee "in vice Sears" ("in place of") as the Appointment read, Bill Dalton, is married to the daughter of Dick Morris, who, while serving as Chairman of the Board, lived at the Hospital -- in contravention of the law?

Doug, You will get no where in the land of transparency (the Massachusetts Legislature) if you continue to bring facts into your arguments. They prefer the dark of night with a new moon.
Now repeat after me... "nothing to see here. Move along. Globe I need a puff piece!"

Bob: I am also in favor of the public records law's applying to the work product of the Legislature. One party power is entrenched by restricting the flow of public information. Agencies also do not share their information with the Legislature. Remember how Rep. Jim Adams had to hold a good old fashioned sit-in in the House Chamber before Secretary Judith Bigby released to the Legislature information on the $100M her agencies pay for services to people who do not live in Massachusetts legally? Would it be helpful for that money to be reallocated to pay for cuts in public safety and education? You betcha!

Vote for the better man! Representative Jim Miceli! He always done a great job for us, and will continue to do so.

Mary: I honor the good that Rep. Miceli has done. Nothing can take that away from him, or you, or any of the people he has helped. However, this is not about who is a better person or who can be more helpful to constituents. Helping people in town is primarily, not exclusively, that SELECTMEN and TOWN OFFICIALS are there to do. That's why they are based in Wilmington. A Representative is not a SUPER-SELECTMAN. A Representative meets with other representatives in the House on Beacon Hill to propose, discuss, and send to the Governor laws that effect all of Massachusetts. Can you think of a bill which Mr. Miceli has authored that when, it became law by the Governor's signature, expressed his vision for helping all Massachusetts residents? The main reason I mention my experience with him at Tewksbury Hospital is to give personal witness to how petty the "good man: is. He revels in being vengeful and mean to those who, unlike you, don't think he is the reason the sky is blue. Playing Santa Claus, taking credit for the work of others, and eliminating those who call him on this behavior -- this is what the man is "good" at -- he is not good at fighting for a better Massachusetts. We need a Representative who has a vision -- and who stands up for employers in Wilmington!

Mary, even McCoy hate Miceli and they're related. Two big self seving egos.

Representative Miceli is supportive of both the employer and employees. Vote for the one who truly represents us, Representative Miceli.

Erika: With all due respect, looking at the big picture as the Associated Industries of Massachusetts does every year in its Score Card of the votes taken by Legislators, it looked at the votes during 2011-2012 on key bills of vital to interest to employers and reached a different conclusion that placed Rep. Miceli last among all his colleagues in both chambers of government.

It is your absolute right to shout from the roof tops how this legislative track "truly" represents "us".

As I stated above, I would have voted differently were I representing the people of Wilmington and Tewksbury.

Doug

Mr. Sears have you read the signs? Mr. Miceli is a good man doing a good job.

Yes. Just ask him

Thats right Mr Sears screw the public employees even more. Who needs collective bargaining anyway?

Jim, when our employees have a better deal then us their employer, the balance is askew. The issue we have today is the public unions are negotiating with the people they helped get elected and will help re-elect. We the employers really have no representation at the table. We get handed the bill and have to pay it. We need elected officials that are more concerned with the business of the country, state and town than the next election.
To force people who have no desire to be in a union and pay dues to join a union is un-American and against all that this country stands for.
I have never had collective bargaining in my almost 30 year career and I have done fine. Where I am hurting is when the next tax, water, sewer or other tax bill comes in. We are at a break point and less government and less government spending is the only thing that will give relief. Public unions are a huge cause of that and must be reigned in. Look at the pigs at the trough in Chicago who turned down and are striking over a 16% raise over 4 years! Who today in the dreaded private sector is getting 4% raises a year? Yet the citizens of Chicago will have to pay that increase.

JIM: Plan Design lets municipalities modernize their employee health plans outside of collective bargaining that are the same as or better than what state employees receive. Communities also can join the state GIC outside of collective bargaining if they demonstrate that joining GIC provides greater financial relief than making their own plan design changes.10% of costs avoided in the first year are set aside to fund a health reimbursement account structured on an agreement between municipalities and their unions. Cities and towns still negotiate any change in the employee-employer premium share, giving municipal unions more bargaining authority over health insurance than state employee unions. This is a fair plan: union jobs are protected, employee premiums are lower, and communities can establish health reimbursement accounts to offset a portion of the costs for those employees who are heavy users of the health care system.

Cuts in local aid in non-election years mean municipal health insurance reform can prevents elimination of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other employees from local budgets. Communities can use this reform to provide relief for local taxpayers, protect essential services, and preserve thousands of municipal jobs. I support it.

Douglas, Yeah right, 10% for the first year what about every other year after the first? What about the three other years when we accepted no raises in lieu of no increase in health premiums? Can we get those raises back now? My copay increased 700%. No vote for You Douglas.
