End porkbarrel projects

• More than 540 state government departments and agencies together consume close to $1 Billion/week. Virtutally every government agency is bigger and fatter than it needs to be, while many aren’t needed at all. Case in point: the “Mass Cultural Council“, which spends more than $9 million a year on local pork projects. If these projects are really worthwhile, local residents can elect to pay for them. Or the proponents can raise funds from benefactors or local businesses. Don’t make poor folks in Roxbury pay for nifty arts projects in the Berkshires – when keeping taxes low to put food on the table is a much higher priority.
