I don't see any good coming out of this. Currently MP is tightly funded and controlled as a separate "exposed" entity. Once it is part of the larger SP and is hidden/buried in the larger budget that control and accountability will be lost. Very easy for the Govt Agencies to fudge the numbers any way they want. I fear this will over time become a haven for political hacks to get the cushy state job. Every politician’s brother, child, grandchild, nice, nephew, etc will be on a long waiting list for what will become high paying do hardly nothing jobs. 5-10 years from mow it will look like the MA Turnpike Authority – toll collectors making over 100K with more benefits and time off than you or I could use in a lifetime..
Just saying keep an eye out on this one.
