Deval Patrick in 2010 Governor's State of the State speeches


On Budget & Economy: Closed $9 billion budget gap

We closed that $9 billion budget gap and delivered a third consecutive budget that was responsible, balanced and on time--which is not something that many other states can say. But we also worked to understand and address the impact that each cut would have on the people who depended on the program, and to deliver the service in better and more efficient ways. We made it personal.

On Local Issues: Saved $250M by abolishing the Turnpike Authority

Simplifying the transportation network and abolishing the Turnpike Authority means we saved taxpayers a quarter billion dollars and can put toll and T fare hikes off a little while, while we focus on better service for commuters.
