Mass as a whole is on a downward spiral. Because of taxes, people and businesses have been fleeing to New Hampshire. Connecticut is in the same boat for the most part. I certainly wouldn't be laying off police, fire, and medical though. I'd look elsewhere first if at all possible.

As a politician this is the first place you go for layoffs because it gets the most public responce. Then the all useless political waste can point fingers in every direction blaming each other for the crime rate skyrocketing! Ben's right, this state is a joke. Four more political hires this week from the governer for $100k plus each, some in state agency's that were created for these hires! JOKE JOKE JOKE!!!

BTW...I am a state employee lucky enough to still have my job and working my a#$ off to make sure I keep it.

At least I can say that I didn't. It's bigger than that though, it's the backwards way of thinking here. Blame the voters, I do.

We currently have one of the highest exodus rates in the country (12th) and we were hovering around 2nd-6th for a long time:

These are the same people who have reelected Barney Frank for 25 (or so) years in a row.

Yikes..

Police jobs still aren't in demand here, I have an Associates and Bachelors in Criminal Justice and can't use it due to this economy.

Give it time. Once the crime rate rises because of unemployment and personal money issues, crime should go up in my opinion, unfortunately.
But, once the economy gets back to order, the demand should be there again.

That's what I'm hoping

Looks like Mayor Thomas Menino is looking to cut over 500 jobs in Massachusetts.
WTF?!?!
