BOSTON -- Lt. Gov. Tim Murray today released the following statement on Republican Lt. Gov. candidate Sen. Richard Tisei's decision to schedule a session of the State Senate on casino gaming and then skip his own session to attend campaign events. (Sources below)
"It is unbelievable that Richard Tisei would schedule a Senate session on casino gaming and then skip his own session to hit the campaign trail. I guess this is the type of behavior we can expect from a Beacon Hill insider like Senator Tisei.
"If Charlie Baker says he wants to change the way Beacon Hill does business, why did he hand-pick a 25-year Beacon Hill insider like Richard Tisei, who uses procedural tactics to delay the casino debate and then fails to show up to work for his own session?
"Furthermore, if elected with Charlie Baker, Senator Tisei says he will continue to operate his real estate company, which would essentially make him a part-time Lieutenant Governor. It is clear that Richard Tisei cares more about his personal business than the peoples business."
