Update:
"Even with Coakley’s amended disclosure, her assets are still far less valuable than her opponents"
It looks like SHE is the BEST WE CAN DO AROUND HERE!!!
And what is with the body cavity search, Glob?
"Coakley issues a challenge to Capuano; After wavering, AG makes strongest argument to date on her health care position" by Matt Viser, Globe Staff | November 14, 2009
.... Attorney General Martha Coakley, meanwhile, perplexed that her personal finances had raised eyebrows, also said yesterday that she spends money on her home and lifestyle.
“We don’t have kids, so I don’t save for college education,’’ she said. “We’ve put our money into our equity in our home. We like to travel, and we have a comfortable lifestyle. I don’t find it that unusual. . . . I am comfortable. I believe I am secure. We certainly live a relatively modest lifestyle. I’m not apologizing for it.’’
Don't worry; you do not have to here!
Coakley’s lack of financial assets caused some consternation this week when the state’s 56-year-old top law enforcement official reported on US Senate financial disclosure forms that neither she nor her husband owned any asset above $1,000. She later said they failed to report a $12,000 retirement account for Coakley and $200,000 to $250,000 in savings and inheritance held by her husband, but said that was a simple error.
Oooops! If that is the WORST of her sins, she may be okay, Bay-Staters!
Now we know how hubby is getting by.
Coakley bought a house in the 1980s, she said, but sold it when she ran for Middlesex district attorney in 1998 and for at least nine months went without a salary. Then, she married, helped pay for a wedding and honeymoon, and bought and furnished a home in Medford.
Do we really need the detailed bio on her private life?
Seems like a moral enough person anyway.
Her state pension, built with more than 20 years of state service, would guarantee her nearly $70,000 a year if she begins collecting it at age 65.
Wow! State officials always have the best pension deals -- and that one is relatively light compared to some of the looters we have around here!!
That pension is not required to be reported on the federal forms. She also is not required to report her home, which is assessed at $525,000. Still, her savings stood in stark contrast to those of her fellow candidates, which ranged from $347,000 to $765 million....
Yeah, they are ALL MILLIONAIRES!!!!!
Woah!!!
WHO WAS that CRAZY LADY in the PHOTO?
