Candidate is stealing credit due legislators
I do not understand the Times' reluctance to give credit where credit is due regarding the Hyannis Youth and Community Center.
No matter who lobbies the governor, all appropriations start in the Legislature. Rep. Demetrius Atsalis starts the ball rolling in the House with the $3.5 million request, hands off to Ways and Means Chairwoman Therese Murray in the Senate, and now candidate Gail Lese gets credit for saving the appropriation from a Mitt Romney veto?

Poor Demetrius. How many press releases has he put out taking credit for projects worked on and accomplished by Shirley Gomes and Tom George? The Children's Cove fiasco comes to mind, when he took credit for funding - in writing - from before he was elected.
Shoe pinches when it's on the other foot!
