Kerry Healey Proves Again She's out of Touch- This Time with Fishermen
Kerry Healey's visits to fishing towns may well provide for good photo-ops, but apparently Ms. Healey doesn't quite get the seriousness of the issues facing our state's fisherman. This, from today's Cape Cod Times:
In her zeal to attack federal fishing regulations during a visit with Boston fishermen last week, Healey said the Bush administration was favoring corporate fishing interests over family boats. It was intended to play well in places like Gloucester, New Bedford and Cape Cod. Sort of like shooting fish in a barrel.
But her remarks caused some confusion in New Bedford, because in New England circles, New Bedford fishermen, who have the most valuable port in the nation in landings, are the big corporate guys. And they say they are also being killed by federal rules that restrict the number of days at sea this year in an effort to protect fish stocks.
And now for the KH Just Doesn't Get it Quote of the Day: ''I've got a hunch there's a general disconnect there,'' said Jim Kendall of New Bedford Seafood Consulting.
You're not kidding, Jim!

LOL! Yes!! That "out of touch" millionaire Kerry Healy compared to those "in touch" with the common man millionaires like Teddy Kennedy or John Kerry ! The Mass legislatures ( %87 Democrats)are so out of touch with the voters people and jobs continue to FLEE this rotten state!
LOL!!
No wonder the only place where far lefties can win is here and California!
Kerry Healy made a huge miscue today, as did her staff. They are all hugely inexperienced.
also
The blog staff here should consider disabling the 'anonymous' commenting.
Foul mouthed people like 'anonymous' above are the rotten part of the state, if there even is one. Isn't that obvious??
and, people too small to sign their name (even a penname) are not the sort of leaders we need, are they? Mine may be a penname, but's it's been the same since 1992.

Good idea. Censor any dissent.
Besides Who wants to hear FACTS such as people LEAVING this awful fully controlled Democratic Blue State ? Who wants to be reminded that business are also FLEEING to RED States like NC?
Lets censor this. I am sick of the bad news too.
registration isn't censorship,and you dnot even need to register.
just choose a name so i can tell your bs from other people's bs.
It's a reasonable acccomodation for a civil discourse.
but that is really not your point, i commenting here, is it?
Say hi to tom reilly for me.
hey, when the rapture comes, can i have your car?
samwich, nice truck. seriously.
I was going to make a 'not my cup of tea' joke here, but you probably don't want my cup of tea anyhow.
Well, right on anyhow. My favorite boss and mentor is a Mormon who was in the infantry. thanks.
And honestly, if I could stand the dearth of coffee shops, I'd move to Utah.
Your point is well taken regarding Romney. Does he really play dirty pool??
