LIe Down With Dogs, Get Up With Fleas

I am shocked, just shocked to hear of gambling in this establishment.

State Police, Senate Democrats forge alliance - The Boston Globe :

"The State Police Association of Massachusetts, the only union to endorse Mitt Romney in the 2002 governor's race, has parted ways with the governor after 18 months of stalled contract talks with his administration and has forged an alliance with Senate Democrats, in a bid to force the matter into binding arbitration.


The 2,000-member union, which also backed George W. Bush and his father instead of Massachusetts Democrats in the presidential contests of 2004 and 1988, is accusing Romney of trying to ''bust' the union by attempting to revoke decades-old rights to seniority, grievance procedures, and holiday and shift choices.

''We're very shocked,' State Police union president John Coflesky said yesterday."
