This has to be part of the game plan going forward. You cant have people in front of 45 judges behaving like it is their first trip in the court. We have to consolidate so judges can make informed decisions about Everything Associated with those things. I have no problem at all. It would be a good idea to have a review that takes place every 10 years or so. Not only should there be a review, they should be reupped by Governors Council or whomever. Should be another vote . I guess what i would say is you can either have a process where they have to be reupped or the review would determine whether or not they would go before the Governors Council. I like the letter better than the former. These are lifetime appointments. We want to make good decisions. That is why we set them up. But they ought to be held accountable. At the same time, everybody ought to know at some point theyre working for the public and taxpayers are paying for it. Lets hear from patricia. I cover social services. Both of you have talked about caring about Vulnerable Children and the need for fixes. Neither of you have talked about adding more money for the agency. A federal judge said the primary problem is a budgetary shortfall more than anything else. My question is do you think you can fix it without adding more money . I actually supported the governors proposal, 30 million increase for dcf. Both for social workers, and for a variety of other pieces. I think there are management reforms that ought to be part of what happens there. I may proposals when the jeremiah all of her case broke earlier this year. In many respects dcf has a difficult and complicated job. They are dealing with some of the most troubled families in the commonwealth. The fact that they had an opportunity to move toward fixing this for years ago when childrens rights filed that case, which was a compelling case against the department, and the attorney general and governor chose not to move to fix it but to fight it, was a problem and borne out by what happened after. In addition to that, ive said this before, you have a terrific record with respect to advocating for children. To have that case in front of you and to stand silently by why they cut the budget by 40 million was a problem and showed a lack of judgment. First of all the case is so compelling the judge dismissed it. Lets be clear. We get represent the government. That is my job. I always do that to the best interest of the children and families we need to represent. Lets be clear about whats going on here. Outside lawyers were suing us. It was not the right solution for massachusetts. Better use of that money to go in to dcf. We need to restructure the agency. Ive had a plan since i work with that agency for 25 years. We have agency to protect kids and keep families together. They dont do it right. We need to change it. By the way, im glad youre advocating for these changes while youre running for governor but you had an opportunity as secretary and undersecretary helping Human Services to look at caseloads, technology, and reverted 2 million. Is 30 million enough money . Everyone says restructuring and moving things around him and they will never have enough money. Its not just about money. Every judge has said the same thing. It is money. They dont have enough money. We can give them more money. Problems dont get solved. The structure of the agency doesnt work to give omissions to the social work and an caseloads are too big or they dont have enough training. I work with terrific social workers that we need to change the structure of the agency and then we need to say with an increase in technology, we need to better communicate what the mission of the agency is and what they are supposed to do. Instead we have fought that. The lawyer who represented that case on the other side worked in the clinton administration. She was hardly partisan. The way you describe that, you said you did what was best for massachusetts. It was not that lawsuit. The onesizefitsall result. I absolutely refuse to say ive read the brief you said you would rather give a lot of money to outside lawyers to tell massachusetts what to do. I dont think that is a good solution for a manager. You have praised martha coakleys work for children which leads me to say we have to play a snippet of ads, most parents tell their children to leave the room. Lets watch a piece of these. More than 50 children abused, neglected, lives cut short under the care of the Massachusetts Department of children and family. Martha coakley. Baker eliminated nearly 2000 jobs at his company. Tripling his own salary to over 1. 7 million a year. Very quickly, somebody who supports you, the former attorney general say you did a great job. I still dont understand briefly why you are not answering the super pac, klees take that commercial off the air. It does represent my value. I said i didnt like the tone of the ad. Were still having a discussion about whether they made the right decision or not. The proof is the tragedies and problems and the broken agency of the dcf in many respects at the time and through those cuffs in their budget. Why cant you do that . Why are you asking the ads about him be pulled . Despite your criticisms, he led the saving of hunter pilgrim. The facts in that ad are accurate. That is the difference between those two ads. Factual inaccuracies. I think that add is just for entertainment. That i sat by while children were killed. That is outrageous. This is a campaign. I understand that. I asked charlie. He would not do it. The first negative ad was run by a super pac against me, they give thousands is of dollars through a finance loophole. To some extent she doesnt have any credibility on this issue. Lets move on. I spent five days this summer reporting from ferguson, missouri that erupted in near constant protests after an africanamerican teenager was shot and killed. Many of the officials in the city and the state were criticized for not understanding the circumstances that contributed to the volatile situation. My question is, how would you as governor make sure that all communities, but especially the amenities of color have a seat at the table so disparity and education, housing, income, as well as health care that those gaps are closed. Could you give me one example to address . I think that we want in Massachusetts Community policing, not combat policing. I would propose getting men and women in our fire Teaching Police services, and areas of Public Services that would address those things. Im very proud of the fact that i was endorsed by the minority Law EnforcementOfficers Association because of the time and effort ive made getting to know the folks in the communities of color. A huge part my plan is Economic Opportunity and education and Public Safety in those communities. I was proud to stand with leaders from those communities a week ago today to talk about the plan and gain their support. One thing i would say, i havent to do a right along on the friday night of when ferguson was breaking. Sergeant johnson, i wanted him to take me around the city for five or six hours and show me what goes on in urban boston. The first thing he did was he took me to Dorchester High School where they were holding practice and cooking. This is what goes on in this community. Which no one ever talks about. He knew every single coach, he knew half the parents who were there. One of the things we have to do if they want to avoid situations like that is we have got to embed ourselves as human beings in these communities of people understand not only do we care about them but we get where they are coming from and they can see us, and they can know it would make a commitment they will follow through. I have done that for 18 years with community policing, and messy violence. It is important to make sure we have a good criminal justice system. Educational factors, Charter Schools. A few months ago i went to one of those Charter School drawings. No parents were there. I realized so few kids can get in its too depressing and upsetting to go to these things and not get called in. You have been supportive not so strongly for Charter Schools. Charlie baker said denying the options of Charter School support kids is nothing less than an affront to their civil rights. How is he wrong . This is where he differed. It is about education. We have made this distinction between charters or not charters. Charters were the reason that we were able to see what works and what doesnt great extended learning time, early education. The ways in which we get every cap the best possible education. Its about making sure we keep the promise to take the best practices from charters and seed them in district schools. We have highly innovation schools. We know what works. You mentioned prek. Primary night you celebrated your plan, but has morphed into a plan where 17,000 people are on the waiting list, who need support. What happened . I still support universal prek. We are going to start with 17,000 kids in 100 50 million immediately to get them into places we have. There are parents that have that ability now. Im trying to land the claim field. Charter schools . The position is basically the same. Im glad to see that she agrees with me, we should make targeted investments in expanding participation in prek. I spent a lot of time and city schools over the course of this race. Im looking for excellence. There are 45,000 parents on a waiting list. Those parents deserve choices. When i knock doors in dorchester, in springfield, the first question that comes up when im talking to somebody is i dont have enough choices for my kids. They are desperate when i talk about this. For anybody who has kids, it kills you to hear the concern in their voice. There are a lot of great traditional schools out there. One of the things ive talked about during this campaign is wanting to create relationships between folks who are actually doing a terrific job of educating kids and Public Schools with other folks in Public Schools. We dont do the inservice type learning and teaching and best practices that we should be doing. Im going to make that happen. We have to start doing that. There are stars performing in urban education we are not leveraging them. We are going to move to an issue that is huge. Income inequality. The minimum wage increase, and question four, mandatory paid leave. Do you support those things . Very quickly, are you not concerned about the arguments of Small Business that one or both of these is going to croak them. Like snow. The minimum wage has been passed. Most supported it. We have families living week to week to pay their rent or put food on their table. There is a couple that works at logan airport. They can barely afford to put food on their table. That is not right. The corporations they work for are doing quite well. This income inequality has to be for everybody. Connecticut and california, we would be the outlier became the third because Small Businesses say it is a killer. I think that it is absolutely a cost of doing business they would be able to afford. This is a right for people. Most dont worry about six time. If they are sick they are going to lose their jobs if they dont show up. It is a Public Health issue. It mostly affects women. Minimum wage women who have childcare responsibilities, who dont have vouchers for early education. This is a fairness issue. I support it. You had said earlier in the campaign you would consider a sub minimum wage for teenagers and people in training. We should go ahead and pursue what is happening on the minimum wage legislatively. I also believe we should, and i would file a bill, for Small Businesses tax credits to absorb the increase without taking hours away from people or jobs. Question four, you propose a threshold of 50 or more employees. 120,000 businesses, they would not benefit from paid sick leave. Does not trouble you . That would be the same as the connecticut law. Only two states have this law and both of them have a lot more in flexibility. I support doing this. I will work with the legislature to get it done. I worry if were all concerned about jobs and Small Businesses and their ability to create opportunity that this puts us at a significant disadvantage. 1. 2 Million People who would get sick time. A lot of people are going to lose their existing flex benefits when that passes because they wont be able to access the flex benefits their companies have put in place. Both of you have been involved with ethical questions. Martha coakley failed to disclose a lawsuit against fannie mae and freddie mac. I think the opportunity, as the chief lawenforcement officer and the overseer of the office of campaign in finance it wouldve been inappropriate for the attorney general to disclose that relationship, especially since she had financial opportunities. This woman raised money for her as well. The premise is in your question. The statute, ive been fighting to keep people in their homes. The only purpose and that statute was to make sure homeowners to stay in their homes. It is not the only company that does that. It is a notforprofit. We disclose everything we needed to. We checked and checked again. We did what we needed. We did everything we needed to do. Some have suggested you engaged in pay to play. Seven months before [inaudible] receive 50 million from the pension fund. Should voters be concerned about that . Those facts indicate at least from my point of view a reason to investigate. He said under 33 different times he filed and was a partner of it. He is in violation of the law. If he is not he should disclose his contract. The reports today, that Chris Christie and the treasure of new jersey appointed by Chris Christie, a supporter of yours, is holding up the lease of the investigation about this page plaything until several days after the election in massachusetts. Would you use this opportunity to urge christie to disclose what their investigation is . I cant control. I stay as far away from it as i can get, which is appropriate. They will issue their report when the issue with. Martha issue the fact that i was working for general catalyst. Ive been transparent. Ive never tried to hide anything. I gave all the documentation and said if there is something you need to do here tell me. I wrote a brief on it. I made that brief publicly available to anybody who wanted to see it. The governor of new jersey should the voters of massachusetts [indiscernible] the pension board is want to make their decision whenever they finished their study. As far as i can tell based on the work that was done, i have done nothing wrong. He can resolve it by disclosing his employment contract. We are short on time. There is only one person at there is only one person at this table who is paid a Campaign Violations find. The attorney general. Ive been completely transparent when we have had errors that have been pointed out. We have fixed them. We refer to the money to where it should have gone. I always have done that. That is the transparency. We are going to release the tension. Lets hear from the boston globe. A serious question about taxes. He is going to ask you one quick question. Who would play you in the movie of this campaign . Who would lay your opponent . Reese witherspoon. They are looking at each other. [laughter] liam neeson. Same question, most of this has been about power you have. Lets talk about our you dont have. The bully pulpit of the Governors Office that you would advance. You just use your position as governor to try to move the public on. What would that be . We need to create more things at night for kids to do in urban communities. I would like to put together a coalition of folks who were involved in all kinds of recreational a communitybased athletic activities across the commonwealth involving urban communities and come up with things kids can do at night. Thats a big problem. The legislature i am most concerned about kids, others a notforprofit sittings that dont have the resources to get what they need, not just sports but social work, mental health. There are troubled kids in the state that need help. Thank you both. We appreciate your time. That is all the time we have. [applause] Charlie Baker and martha coakley. Thank you for tuning in tonight. [applause] in an hour, the constitution and the rule of law at the Heritage Foundation. She was nominated to the d. C. Court of appeals in 2003 and confirmed in 2005. You can see her live at 5 30 today. Our Campaign Debate coverage continues. The new york 11 district debate between michael mm and Dominic Ricky a dominic. Followed by the new york 18th district debate with Sean Patrick Maloney and nan hayworth. Then the illinois 10th district debate with rodney davis and ann callis. 2014, 100 debates for the control of congress. Last night in Jacksonville Florida governors debate was held between incumbent rick scott and charlie crist. Here is a short part of it. Are you saying there are so many racists in the Republican Party you could remain a republican . No. Im saying that element exists. They dont have a racial bone in their body. What is a word here is a simple thing. If you number two 2008, some emails to should be kid about. He president by some members they werent exactly flattering. I think you can research and find out what i am talking about. Reaction ive the gotten from some in the Republican Party leadership wasnt tolerable to me. It was clear that it wasnt just because i was willing to work across the aisle to get the recovery funds to come to florida. He was the first africanameri
