And the SELF-SERVING Globe helps him!!!
"State may absorb $30m on project built over Pike" by Casey Ross, Globe Staff | August 20, 2009
John Rosenthal has also applied for $52 million in tax-exempt federal bonds and asked the City of Boston for permission to defer property tax payments for several years.
AND he is going to get STATE $$$?

You know who the cow is, right, taxpayers?
Rosenthal’s other funding source is the Boston Red Sox, which is a minority partner and has invested millions of dollars in the project.
You know, THEY SEEM to be doing PRETTY GOOD right now so WHY DO THEY NEED TAXPAYER LOOT?
Prices not high enough at the ole' ballpark -- even with the new tax increase?
The New York Times Co., owner of the Globe, owns 17 percent of the company that owns the Red Sox....
FYI, readers:
"NASCAR coverage was also expanded on the cable channel New England Sports Network, which is owned by New England Sports Ventures, the parent company of the Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group. The New York Times Co., which owns The Boston Globe, holds a 17 percent stake in New England Sports Ventures."
That EXPLAINS a LOT about the SELF-SERVING SPORTS on the FRONT PAGE and the LACK of AGENDA-PUSHING, FART-MISTING, GLOBAL WARMING PROTESTERS at NASCAR and the tree-destroying baseball games!
And the DIPPING of the BILL at the TAXPAYER TROUGH!!!!!!!!!
Aid from the state.... Governor Deval Patrick’s administration is offering to absorb up to $30 million of a developer’s cost to build a mammoth complex above the Massachusetts Turnpike, in hopes of jump-starting construction over the highway after the most recent effort, Columbus Center, stalled....
BAY STATE TAXPAYERS!!!!!!!!!
What could YOUR COMMUNITY do with $30 MILLION DOLLARS!!!???
Mine would be INSTANTLY HEALED and EXPANDING!!!!
But it is GOING to the RED SOX instead!!!!!!
--more--"
Goodbye, guverner!
