FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 7, 2010 Contact: Amy Birmingham 978-979-9252 Juli Sweeney 617-875-9026 Cahill the clear stand out in WBZ Debate Massachusetts State Treasurer and candidate for Governor Tim Cahill was the clear stand out voice in tonight’s WBZ-TV debate hosted by Jon Keller. The first televised debate in the Governor’s race showed voters that Cahill is the candidate for the Massachusetts middle class. “Tim Cahill is fighting for the middle class in this state unlike his big government and big business opponents. He is working to grow small business and create jobs for the more than 300,000 residents out of work. He is listening to voters who want to stay in Massachusetts to raise their families,” said Cahill Campaign Manager Adam Meldrum. With jobs and the economy the focus of the debate, Cahill said the first thing he would do as Governor is sign the casino bill. Instead of welcoming the expanded gaming industry, Governor Patrick continues to pick and choose which businesses will succeed in Massachusetts. Cahill called out the Governor and Charlie Baker for their reckless fiscal responsibility that has led to the state’s 2 billion dollar deficit. Charlie Baker was the chief architect of the Big Dig financing scheme and tax payers are now footing the $15 billion dollar bill, with another $7 billion in interest. “Charlie is trying to position himself as a government outsider, but in fact he has more than 10 years of experience under his belt and it is apparent that he is recycling ideas from the Weld and Cellucci Administrations. He even seems to be forgetting that he was even part of the Patrick transition team in 2006,” said Meldrum. “The Governor and Baker are out of touch with the Massachusetts middle class. Families are hurting in a tough economy that has been made worse by the tax and spend policies of the Patrick Administration over the past four years. Cahill has a record of making government work in a fiscally responsible manner. Just look at his job with the Massachusetts School Building Authority – he has helped save taxpayers more than $3 billion – and he will bring that record to the Corner Office. ###
