This is "Progressive"?
We are LONG OVERDUE for another "tea party" in town. May I suggest we start by throwing this euro-socialist wannabe jackoff of a city councilor into the harbor?
Fee eyed for those who drive into Hub
Memo to Councilor Scapicchio: Go piss up a rope!
I'm seriously at a loss for words here. How can anyone honestly look at this plan and think it's a good idea? Paying for the privilege of driving into a city that's already plagued by construction detours, potholes, and leaking tunnels? Sounds fabulous, where do I sign up?
This hack, Scapicchio, was on the "Blute and Scotto Show" on WRKO this morning, defending this Orwellian scheme as some kind of courageous "outside the box" thinking. And, when asked why he wanted to impose another tax on Boston drivers, he was ready with this all-too-predictable response:
It terrifies me to think about what Councilor Scapicchio and the rest of these flunkies would consider "inside the box" thinking. As pissed off as I am right now, I would like to take a moment to thank Councilor Scapicchio for providing me with this additional incentive to get my family out of Boston (and Massachusetts) as soon as humanly possible.

Sobering study slams stagnating city
Hey, I have an idea! Let's charge people a "fee" to enter the city. That'll get them coming back in droves. And people are wondering why Massachusetts was the only state to lose population from the last census count.
Fee eyed for those who drive into Hub
A city councilor is looking to turn Boston into a commuter toll zone so that people who drive into the city would have to pay to enter.
Saying the half-million commuters who drive into Boston each day are major contributors to traffic and parking congestion, Councilor Paul J. Scapicchio wants the city to look into requiring passes costing $1 to $5 daily and catching scofflaws by installing cameras to record license plates of cars crossing over from the suburbs without the passes. Today, he will ask for a council hearing to explore the idea.

Boston needs fixing.
And it's not just the Big Dig that's the problem.
A new study says a broad array of problems, from the high cost of housing to the low quality of education, has the Hub on a collision course with the kind of stagnation not seen since the 1950s.
