Sticker Shock
Willard Mitt's Department of Public Safety, whose responsibility includes ensuring the safe operation of elevators and related machinery, has admitted it is incapable of conducting mandatory annual inspections of all elevators and escalators in Massachusetts. (source: Boston Globe, 7/4/2004)
Team Reform's solution? File legislation to increase the time between inspections, requiring that elevators be certified as safe every two years, rather than every year (source: Boston Globe, 7/4/2004) proving once again the faux maxim that 'saying something is better than doing nothing.'
The Fraud Governor's next reforms are said to include improving the state's air quality by suspending automobile exhaust inspections until 2007, and reducing the state's crime rate by relaxing the penal codes.
