a group of people, maybe a hundred or so, start a class action law suit, and sue Governor Patrick for not offering any of the jobs he has filled with his allready employed cronys/friends to one of the unemployed. He has given away almost 2000 positions to people simply because they worked on his campaign, not because they are qualified. There have to be many qualified, even moreso than his appointments, to some, most, or all of the positions he has filled. For someone , who "cares" about his minions and one who espouses the shared sacrifice we all must bear, why is it these positions aren't advertised in newspapers and awarded on the basis that the person most qualified gets hired, just like private industry. If I was one of the unemployed, or underemployed and new that Governor Patrick once oversaw, at Coca Colas national headquaters, intra-company discrimination problems, I would be nonplussed to the point of exasperation. There must be an ACLU attorney around that would grab at this idea.
