Wouldn’t you ask for top dollar to be the governor’s fall guy?

There is some of this - but also, you need to pay highly to attract high level talent. Why would someone go to the MBTA when they would go to private corporations/engineering and make $500k instead? the MBTA offer needs to be commensurate with competitive private offers to actually attract someone talented/qualified.

I understand the resentment behind high pay for public servants but if you want the best you need to make it worth their while. Public service for the good of the commonwealth is a lost thing
