Patrick's visit was in part to meet with supporters in a closed-door meeting at the Plum Island Roasters and to meet with Costello at his Green Street office.
It also came with a few laughs.
At one point during a tour of downtown when crossing Merrimack Street, Patrick's State Police security detail went into the road to stop busy afternoon traffic and allow the governor and his group — which included Mayor John Moak and Council President James Shanley — to cross unfettered.
"I could get used to this," Moak said. "Usually I have to check four times before crossing
I'm not trying to read too much into this grouping. But it's worth noting that Mayor Moak may nominate James Shanley to an opening seat on the NRA. Gov. Patrick needs to accept the appointment.(I think I have that right. I can't find the original article in the News.)
So it's agreat that Shanley--an unenrolled voter who therefore isn't on any of the "Nice" lists in the Democratic party machine--got some decent face time with the Governor.
