Governing for the Long Term—Governor Patrick has worked on long-term issues that will help us get through the current economic crisis, grow jobs, and secure our common economic future. He is tackling tough issues  including auto insurance reform, police details, health care, fixing our broken roads and bridges with the gas tax, and comprehensive ethics and pension reforms to restore public confidence that will provide long-term benefits to the Commonwealth but also bring with them political consequences. This focus on the long-term, rather than the next day's headlines or poll results, will position Massachusetts to come out of the economic downturn stronger and better prepared to recover.
