BOSTON – Upon Republican Gov. Charlie Baker slashing $50 million in 9C cuts at 4:57 P.M. on a Friday, Massachusetts Democratic Party spokesman Pat Beaudry issued the following statement:

"I guess Republican Charlie Baker's transparency pledge had a one year expiration date.

"By slashing $50 million and hiding behind a Friday news dump, Gov. Baker is proving that he lacks vision for the future and sees budgets as numbers on a spreadsheet and not the people behind the programs."
