Lt. Gov. Tim Murray today released the following statement in response to the Baker-Tisei Campaign's gross distortions about the debt they created in Massachusetts.
"The Baker-Tisei camp must be hitting the eggnog early if they're pointing fingers about debt. After all, these are the same people who created the notorious Big Dig financing scheme.
"Charlie Baker and Richard Tisei helped create, as part of the Republican leadership in the Corner Office and the Legislature, record levels of debt and they tried to hide it.
"Meanwhile, our Administration conducted the first-ever debt affordability analysis, and we have been honest with the citizens of Massachusetts, while engaging in responsible fiscal management. This was recognized by three separate bond rating agencies that recently affirmed our AA bond rating, citing our strong fiscal management."
