James Michael Curley

A governor's council approves judgeships and clerkships and that kind of stuff.

It's what the, the, James Michael Curley, when he was govern- governor, used to call it a hawk shop, and they would just basically trade jobs for, uh, various, uh, you know, for, for various confirmations.

That's, that's the way it's always, always been.

There w- uh, for a while, there was a guy, I forget his name, who, he was the m- he was both the mayor of Worcester and he was the lieutenant governor, and I don't think he was exactly a type A personality.

You try to capture what makes Mumbai or Houston or Paris special and different, and you emphasize the particular pivotal roles that individuals have played.

Haussmann redesigning Paris or Mayor Curley in Boston.

Yours is a world where individuals matter and things are local.

And it's just interesting to me because I've always had a really hard time trying to integrate that sort of storytelling with economic models, and I just feel like you've done a better job.

I would respectfully ask for your vote on now or November 3rd.

As James Michael Curley said, vote early, vote often, vote early.

Thank you, Mr. Hogan.

Mr. McCarron, your opening statement.

Here's another thing that people are surprised to hear.

because these are permanent political parties that were carried not so much by political organizations like Boss Tweed or James Michael Curley would be later.

These organizations, the whole idea of having parties and voting a party line was maintained by newspapers, political newspapers, which were very much in those days like the social media of today.

They sometimes exaggerated.
